Hello,
You have developed movable lumps on the right side of the neck, such lumps commonly occur due to swollen salivary glands caused by infection. Bacterial or viral infections may cause enlargement of the lymph nodes. Medical conditions like cysts, tumors and cancer may also cause such symptoms. You can take a course of
Augmentin or
Ampilox (combination of
ampicillin and
cloxacillin), analgesics, one SOS when discomfort. Gargle with warm water and salt 3-4 times a day. It should reduce and get better.
If it is a cyst or tumor, you will have to get Imaging tests (X-ray, CT, MRI) and
biopsy done so that treatment can be started at the earliest. Take non sedating antihistamines, once daily for 5 days so that allergic scalp itchiness gets controlled. Keep your scalp clean, use Selsun shampoo. Keep your scalp oiled with almond or coconut oil. Wash the clothes and beddings that you share in hot water or savlon / dettol frequently. Avoid exposure to sunlight.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
