Suggest Remedy For Lumps In Neck
I have two lumps in my neck, one i small and more firm, while the other one extends a little past my ear and is a bit larger. I also just recently noticed i have a small lump on the opposite side directly under my ear. The (smaller) lump on my neck hurts at times. My sister told me it is swollen lymph nodes but i'm not sure.

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It might be a swollen lymph nodes indeed. Especially if you have had ear or throat infection recently. Due to infection, lymph nodes usually get larger and painful.
If you have also enlarged lymph nodes in other areas like armpit or groins, lymphoma should be considered.
I suggest you to consult your doctor with this issue. Ultrasound of this lumps should be done.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
