Suggest Treatment For Lymph Node Swelling
Hi, My boyfriend woke up this morning and found a round, hard lump on the back of his neck. It showed up overnight. His lymph nodes aren t swollen and he isn t displaying any other symptoms of an infection. Could this just be a knot in his neck muscles? It just is so distinct and showed up so quickly. It s about the size of a pea and very hard.
