What Causes A Lump On The Neck?

Hi i have a 6cm large lump on right side of my neck under my ear and jawline but no pain or pus or problems in my mouth or teeth. The lump is hard i have tried antibiotics and diclofenac but it is still there. Could this be an abscess tooth or something else?

Hi,Dear,Good Morning.Thanks for the query to my HCM online- clinic .I studied your query in-depth.
-In my opinion the lump in the neck under the ear-is mostly a Pleomorphic parotid Adenoma.
Cause of the Lump-As its not infected lump-as you thought-like abscess or else- and hence it has not responded to antibiotics.
-Alerts-Its a slow growing Benign Tumour. You need not worry but initiate proper treatment URGENTLY.

-Treatment -a-Consult A ER Surgeon who would treat it by partial-parotidectomy with Excision of the Parotid Adenoma.

-Alerts/ Warning for you-Plz consult your ER-Surgeon doctor and take treatment ASAP-is the Advise from me.
-Hope this would resolve your worry-some query.Wellcome again to HCM .Have a good day.
