Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The small lump can be a lymph node. It may well be a non-tender and be moving slightly.
This goes with your finding of a viral infection and the node/s usually comes-up as a reactionary factor.
So nothing to worry unless this starts getting larger faster, becomes enlarged or painful.
Then it may need antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines cover.
