Could The New Warm Lump Be Related To Coughing Blood?
I noticed a lump on the left side of my neck today that feels warm. Never noticed the lump before but I hadn't checked specifically. I also felt dizzy and sore throat this morning. Meanwhile, I've been investigating a persistent cough that has gotten worse over the past year, and I have seen some blood in my sputum, more frequently over the past month or two. I had a CT and there was nothing that explained the blood. Could the new warm lump be related to the coughing blood, or is that probably an unrelated virus (with sore throat and lightheadedness)? What should I do next, and is it urgent?
Hi. Thanks for an elucidate history. Cough of more than a year... with blood in sputum 1 month or so. Normal CT scan. I hope you have gone for Mantoux skin test and Sputum AFB ( for TB) , gram staining and culture sensitivity... tests also. NOw a lump in the neck. This is good that you have another problem where you can undergo a test of FNAC to see there is no TB> The node can be very well related to the coughing problem.
