What Causes Lump On Neck With Sore Throat?
hi, I have a hard lump on my neck (to the right and slightly above adam's apple) that appeared out of nowhere 4 weeks ago. Before it appeared I had a sore throut for some time. The sore throut doesn't seem to get better, so it's definately symptom of some infection that caused that lump to appear. What can it be? a lymph node? but the location is weird, thanks

HI.
This is not a weird place, this is the place of lymph nodes.
Yes, this is definitely possible that the sore throat can cause this in some cases.
Get a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines for 1 to 3 weeks. This usually settles .
If it does not settle then you can go for ultrasound and / or CT scan and FNAC to confirm what is it and to know the further course of action.
