Lump On My Neck For 6 Months With High Fever

lump on my right neck, right below the jaw, gets bigger when i eat, but it gets smaller after i eat, and i remember getting this when i was extremely tired about 6 months ago. I was sick too, high fever . when i was eating something, it did not hurt that much, but it was uncomfortable. This was 6months ago, but it was okay until the day before yesterday, and it started again.

Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum,
This can be obstructed submandibular duct which is causing you this problem. During the intake of food there is increased salivary secretions which will get accumulated due to the blockage of the tube and hence increase in the size. It is better you consult your ENT specialist or a general surgeon. Drink plenty of water.
