Hi, im 14 years old.
Today I realised that I had 2 lumps on my
neck on the right side, 1 of the lumps is
about 2 inches wide and about 3cm thick,
the other one is very small around 2/3m
but im not sure what to do and im not sure
what it is and what I could do, im very
nervous and scared not knowing what it is,
and I think one of the lumps is connected
to an archery , ive been feeling very
dizzy,weak and things I just wondered what

You don’t have to be so upset. Those
lumps on your neck are probably swollen
lymph nodes. They are usually the result
of an infection in the throat. But even
so, you shouldn’t take antibiotics
without a doctor’s examination and
permission. Swollen lymph nodes
(lymphadenopatia) must be examined
carefully before they are declared an
inflammation (lymphadenitis). You can go
to your doctor for a physical examination
and blood analyses (blood picture,
sedimentation, CRP) to understand your
condition better.
