Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have lump in neck. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia of lymphnode as a result of some infection. you should take a course of antibiotics like amoxiclav or cefadroxil. If it does not respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable to rule out tuberculosis or lymphoma. Consult your doctor and start treatment accordingly.
