welcome to Health care magic.
1.Most possible cause of lump in the neck are lymph nodal enlargement - seen after any infection / inflammation.
2.Other possible cause with sore and pain on touch is of infective aetiology.
3.And thyroid, vascular are other causes.
4.For confirmation get an ultrasound neck done for evaluation of the lesion nature, source of the lesion and its extensions.
5.GEt an appointment and get examined and get needful scan done - good luck.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
