What Could Be The Lumps In The Side Of Neck In The Lymph Nodes?

I have a few lumps in the sides of my neck in the lymph nodes (assumedly) which have been there for a few weeks atleast.. Im generally tired all the time, they are not sore to touch but can be very sore after drinking alcohol.. I have had blood tests done and an ultrasound and am now awaiting the results. Im also on antibiotics which isnt helping them at all. They are over 3cm diametre on the scan (2 of them) and a few others are a bit smaller.. I was just wondering how worried I should be..? I had a friend with hodgkins lymphoma so I am a little concerned.. any ideas?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have enlarged 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.
