What Could Recurring Small Lump On Neck During Throat Infection Or Sore Throat Indicate?

Hi

I noticed a very small lump in my neck about 10 years ago, when I had a throat infection. I had it checked out and there were no concerns. I have noticed a lump on several occasions following this, usually when I have a sore throat or something. I noticed the same lump again this week when I was putting my make up on- I havent noticed for years prior to this. It hasnt grown or changed in any way and it has been examined when I have had throat problems.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having chronic lymphadenitis.
This becomes prominent when you get infection in throat or in near by area.
Nothing to worry, go for the treatment if any infection in throat, scalp or ears.
Ok and take care.
