How Can A Neck Lump Be Treated?

Hi
As per your description, it looks like a Infected lymph node. It is not tumour.
Redness of the swelling indicates Infection and associated inflammation.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Clindamycin capsule 600mg thrice daily along with anti inflammatory tablet to my patients with similar complaints.
Once the infection is subsided, please get an FNAC ( Fine Needle aspiration Cytology ) of the swelling. Exact diagnosis will be confirmed.
Nothing to worry.
It will come down.
Wish you good health.
Regards
