Suggest Treatment For Lump On Neck That Is Sore To Touch
18 yr old female. I have a lump on the back of my neck that is sore to the touch and makes it uncomfortable to move my head. I think it is a swollen lymph node. Is there any way I can get rid of it. I am on holiday at the moment so there is no way I can get to a doctor for the next week or so.

Hi,
If it is an inflamed node then you need to take a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines. I usually advice my patients Tab Augmentin thrice a day and Tab Combiflam thrice a day both full stomach for 5 days and then the swelling and inflammation would come down. You can also apply warm compresses over the node.
But, please your Doctor once you get back and get examined.
Take care,
