What Causes Several Lumps On The Left Side Neck Area?
Five days ago I felt pain under my neck area and noticed several small lumps (next to each other) on my left side of my neck/throat. They re lower down my neck than where my lymph nodes are normally swollen, although I know I ve got lots of them all over. They haven t gone away yet. I noticed that when I swallow I feel something in my throat, I ve been tired recently and that I m always cold. Anything to worry about or just my body fighting off something so my lymph nodes irritated?

Welcome to Health care magic.
1.The history suggest multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the neck region and as you said its chronic cause.
2.Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in presence of local infection / inflammation, systemic cause and finally lymph nodal pathology itself.
3.For better evaluation - after examination an ultrasound neck would help.
4.Ultrasound will help to find out the nature of lumps its source and extensions.
5.An FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology to evaluate the cause / cells present.
6.After that appropriate treatment can be taken.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
