<s>[INST] Hi, I have been getting flu like symptoms every month and dry cough. I have been seeing my throat doctor and complaining my right side that I feel a little ball moving on my right side of neck...i only feel it either when i bend over over the way i move my neck side to side or sometimes when i move my tongue. And still the doctor can t find anything. Any suggestions? it s been going on for almost 2 years....they think it s from my gerd....but i m scared it might be from a lump and they can t detect it [/INST] Hi. Understood your history and the concerns about the swelling in the neck that your Doctor could not find. The best solution in such a situation is to get ultrasonography done to get the lump and if present get FNAC done to get the diagnosis of why it is there. Secondly, the recurrent flu like symptoms indicate that your immunity system needs strengthening by taking multivitamins and having proper diet and do exercises. HERD needs upper GI Endoscopy to get a proper diagnosis as well as an opinion and treatment by a Gastroenterologist. </s>
