What Causes Lumps On The Neck?
Hi. 2 weeks ago I noticed a lump on one side of my neck. Then, a week ago another one appeared on the other side. They are not big lumps, maybe pea sized and slightly movable. Not painful at all. I am under a lot of stress at the moment with exams and work so not sure if this could be the cause? Or if these symptoms sound like something else to you? Thanks,
kristin

Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have enlarged cervical lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma.
You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
