I have a lump on the right side of my neck right under where my jaw line ends. When I till my head to the left side I can see my pulse. The lumps is hard and about the size of a quarter I d say maybe a little smaller. I don t feel like I m sick or have a sore throat. Only when I turn my head to left I feel like more of a pull then sore. Just trying to figure out if I m okay?
Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Possibly it could be a lymph node swelling. However, I could not mark it to be infective as you are not sick as such and there was no pain as such in the lump. If I were your doctor, after a clinical examination of yours I would send you to a pathologist for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology)/excision biopsy if need be for a more definitive diagnosis for a properly planned management. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
