Welcome to Health care magic.
1.It could be a muscle as your doctor said.
2.Possibilities of lymph nodal enlargement can not be ruled out.
3.I would recommend to get an ultrasound neck none to evaluate the nature of the lump, its source, nature and extensions.
4.Lymph nodal enlargement is seen after any infection / inflammation local or systemic.
5.VAscular cause also one of the possibilities - gets scan for confirmation. good luck
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
