Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you lump in neck with pain and bleeding in mouth which is mainly due to infection in oral cavity which could be related to particular tooth which is leading to abscess formation and pus is not finding its way to eliminate which is leading to facial space infection in that area. It could be due to tonsillitis. Need not worry about it. Visit dentist once and get it examined. Go for IOWA (X-ray) of particular tooth and start root canal treatment as per level of pulp exposure. If it is due to enlarged lymph nodes or tonsils visit ENT specialist once and go for course of antibiotics after proper prescription. Do warm saline gargles. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
