Suggest Treatment For Small Lump On My Neck
Hey I am a 22 year old male. I am about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weigh just under 70kg. In the past few weeks I have had a couple of colds and flus and first noticed a small lump in my neck that I attributed to a muscle knot since my neck was sore to move, however, my doctor said it was a lymph node. Following that I encountered another similar sized lump in my right armpit that became sore to touch after curiously touching it repeatedly. One doctor said surely that it was another normal sized lymph node, and then a doctor said it was likely to be ligament. Nevertheless, I am an anxious person with OCD and became rather concerned. Any input or opinion will be appreciated.
Thankyou,
Carson

HI,Dear Carson-Very Good Morning from India.Thanks for your query.I understand your concerns.I studied your query in depth.
-I would advise you to just forget the obsession for these lumps which are just lymphnodes with infective infliction by the flue/cold you had and hence sore a bit.
-I would advise you to consult ER doctor-and get -Tb-NSAIDs,Antibiotics, and vitamins with high protein bland diet,for 2 wks, would take care of lumps and they would become normal.if not you may have to investigate for other causes of the lymphadenitis which your ER physician would take care off.
-So forget obsession of lymp nodes in neck.
-Hope this relieves your worry-some query. Wellcome for anymore queries in time to come.
