Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I ve been having problems with my neck ever since last weekend. The right side of my neck just above the collar bone has a swollen, tender lump. It is very hard and uncomfortable. Do you know of any way I can relieve the pain and/or make the lump go away? Thank you very much!
Most probably it will be a swollen lymph node. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
