Does Mildly Painful Lumps On The Neck Need Medical Attention?
Hello Doctor,
Firstly i would like to thank the website for coming up with such a wonderfull medium of communicatining with the Specialist.
Doctor, my question is for my dad. Recently i have notices small bumps (in hindi Ghat) arround his neck, total 3 lumps i could see, 2 are small and one is little bigger. He says he dont feel much pain, only when trying to turn his neck he feel little pain but other than that normal work he doesnt feel anything. he didnt even noticed it untill i pointed it out to him. My concerned is before i consult any physician i would want to have a basic idea about what it could be? and whats the procedure normaly taken to remove the lumps. Can it get worsen and effect other part of the body if not immediately taken care? and lastly which type of physician or specialist i should i consult regarding this?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It seems like lymph nodal enlargement.
2.Generally seen in case of any infection / inflammation / underlying medical conditions / presence of any malignancies.
3.So first treat if there is any medical condition he is suffering from.
4.Get an ultrasound neck to confirm what the nodes are and where they are arising from and there consistency.
5.So get an appointment and let your doctor examine and get needful investigations done.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
