Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Neck

Yesterday I ate a cought drop at work, and when I had swallowed some of the broken pieces i felt a sharp part of the candy in the back of my throat. I tried to cough it out and drink some fluids to make it go down and it worked. But now I have a lump on my right side of my neck just below my ear and its the right side of where the candy was stuck at. Is it serious??

Hi,Dear,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-reactivated J-D-(jugulo-diagastric Lymphadenitis) on the right side mostly from the late throat infections, for which You took cough drops.
No,theses lumps are not due to the stuck up cough candy.
Treatment-
Gargles with Listerin,
Tab Motrin and
Tab Cetrizine
Tab Amoxycilline-for antibiotics x 5 days time.
Glands would reduce over a time of 3-5 weeks.
Thus if not treated it could be serious.

Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors.
