Suggest Remedy For Lumps In Neck
45 minutes ago I found a rather large lump on my right neck it is rather large and sixe of a grape, no skin discoloration. I run a non-profit assisting cancer patients so you know where my mind instantly went. The lump is just below jaw, no cold, nor dental work recently. Anything I can do till I see dr tomorrow? Oh dont worry!

Hi,
What you can do is not to worry as that will not help the problem.
Since, it has come only recently, most likely it would be an infectious lymph node swelling and will subside soon. You can see your Doctor and get an FNAC done in which they will insert a small needle into the lump to see what is the nature of the swelling. There is nothing you need to do now if there is no pain or fever.
Take care,
