Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The mild puffiness like swelling near your neck with no palpable knots or lumps is likely to be due to a generalized problem like anaemia, fluid overload, thyroid hormone imbalances, cardiac causes, hypertension, excessive pain killers intake, renal problems, etc. A detailed physical examination and a few blood tests are required to detect the exact cause.
Please do consider visiting your physician for proper treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
