What Causes Painful Lump In Neck?

The right side of my neck has been feeling weird. I have myself convinced there is a small moveable lump, but I have also been obsessing over feeling my throat for a couple months now. I have had a lot of stress and anxiety but now I m stressing even more that it s something serious. My mood has been slightly down recently and I also have no appetite.

I am Dr Fahim and I will help you with your problem

     I have gone through your question and understood your concerns. It appears to be cervical lymphadenopathy, mostly commonly caused by upper respiratory tract infection as you mentioned that you are having a bad throat. Viral is more common than bacterial. Bacterial which is usually staphylococcus and streptococcus, needs antibiotics like Co-amoxiclav, while in viral infection the lymphadenopathy is mostly self limiting, requiring no treatment apart from analgesic like paracetamol for symptomatic relief.

I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it.
