Could The Chain Of Lumps On Neck Be Due To Mineral Deposits?
hi i am 15 and i have had a chain of painless lumps on the right side of my neck for about 3 years and i am now starting to worry not because they hurt or are getting bigger but they just haven't gone away i have been looking it up online and it says it can be mineral deposits or something else and i do drink quite a bit of coffee do you think it could be caffeine deposits or swollen lymph nodes or something i think i am going to tell my mom tomorrow to take me to the doctor tomorrow. What do you think i should do.

hi.
you need to consult with a physician for physical examination and review of systems.
next probable step is a neck ultrasound or ct-scan to evaluate those lumps on your neck.
hope this helps.
good day!
