What Does A Lump On The Left Side Of The Neck Indicate?
Hello, I am a 19 year old male and have had a lump on the left side on my neck right beside my Adam’s apple for around 6 or so years. I have been troubling with constant sore throats and swollen tonsils and glands for about 4 months. Recently the lump started to hurt me on and off and swelled up a couple of times. I had an ultrasound on my neck about a week ago to see if it was a thyroid nodule but the doctor couldn’t see any nodules and didn’t know what the lump was. Could you try inform me on what it could be please?

Hello,
The possible reason for such a lump is a cyst or lymph node in the absence of thyroid issue. I would strongly recommend consulting in follow up with the ultrasound report.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
