AN OCCASIONAL PAINFUL LUMP IN THE NECK IS MOST LIKELY A LYMPH NODE.
Swollen neck lymph nodes are enlarged lymph nodes in the neck area and under the chin. Lymph nodes are very small clusters of immune cells that function as part of the body’s immune system. You might be having an infection and it needs to be confirmed by consulting your doctor. Please do not ignore this swelling as in rare cases it can be due to a serious illness like malignancy.
