Hello,
I had a lump on my neck about a inch below my left ear. It went away after 4 weeks. Two weeks ago, I got another lump. This time it is still about an inch below left ear but is also approximately an inch further back my neck. Over the past week, I have palpated, and it seems to continually be getting larger and harder. Up to this point, I have experienced no throat pain. I can tell that the left side of my neck fills up with saliva very quickly upon swallowing, so I feel I constantly have to swallow the "lump." I have had inconsistent diarrhea after eating for the past four days.
I have had a tonsillectomy due to recurrent strep throat as a child. When I examine the back of my throat, the left spot where my tonsils would have been seems to have a white coating, as does the right, but less of.
