What Treatment Is Suggested For A Lump On The Left Side Of The Neck/
I have a lump I can feel on the left side of my neck. It feels like it may just be a lymph node, but should it hurt to even move my neck?
Also, I've had bronchitis for about a week and a half now. Went through all the medications I was given. How long should I still be coughing for?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Yes that can be a lymph node following your unresolved bronchitis.
You need to show to a chest and tb specialist for proper evaluation and a change in antibiotic as the last one didn't did its job well.
Plus, take steam inhalation 3-4 times a day to help clear the respiratory tract.
If the lump still doesn't resolves then a needle biopsy of it will be needed to help reach a diagnosis.
