Suggest Remedy For Lump In The Neck
I have a lump in the left side of the neck. It appeared a week before and now its getting smaller. I remember the day I noticed the lump I had sprained my neck along with that I had severe cold and cough. Please suggest what should be done. It has come down but taking time. It has already been 2 weeks.

This is a lymph node swelling which are present in the side of neck and enlarge on having cough and cold or throat infections. As the infection, cough and cold subsides, it will also gradually decrease in size. In some cases, it may take some time to reduce fully. Please take antibiotics like Amoxycillin and clavulanate or Azithromycin in suitable dose.
