Q: Neck Issue
asked by: speachami on March 29th, 2008

I've recently noticed a lump on my neck and I would like a little analysis before I go to my doctor. The lump is touching(But not attached) to the bottom of my jaw line, on my right side. It's about a little smaller than a golf ball, and I've been feeling a little pain/discomfort whenever I maneuver my neck across it(When it gets pinched). I can feel that it is not connected to any muscle, tissue or bone, as I can move it slightly from it's spot. I am an 18-year old male, I'm in fairly good shape physically, and I have no knowledge of any issues like this in my past.

I am going to see my doctor, but since that will take me a couple of days to arrange I would just like an idea of what this may be, and whether I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Could very well be an enlarge limph node that is infected. All that would take is the proper antibioctic and your set. I for sure would have it looked into though. Guessing is a hard game to play. You can talk yourself into it being anything you want. So, just wait, have it checked out and take it from there.

I've heard that swelling of the lymph node is a result of infection. Recently I've split my lip, and I guess it might be infected. Could this be the cause of the swelling?
