What Causes Painless Lumps On Hand, Neck And Throat?

I have recently noticed 3 movable, painless, spherical lumps, they are all fairly small, the largest is about the size of blueberry, there is one on the lefthand side of my jaw line, one is at the top of my neck under the hinge of my jaw bone (the largest) and there is another on my throat, i have no other symptoms and they are not visible from the surface of the skin, you can only feel them if you apply pressure. I am 16 and have no other health problems, any ideas?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have enlarged cervical lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
