Suggest Treatment For Lumps In Neck
I am 48, 5'2 200lbs. I am being treated for high blood pressure. I had a lump show up 8 days ago on my neck, just above my clavicle. I went on a series of 2 antibiotic shots a day for three days and then a 400mg oral antibiotic for 2 days and the lump has not changed one bit. It is still tender to the touch and I can still feel a lump in it.

HI,Good Evening.Thanks for your query.I studied the query in-depth.I understand your concerns.
Your 8 days lump is inferior cervical adenitis.Antibiotic trial failure indicates its mostly TB lymphadenitis-as it is little sore also.It could also be-Lymphoma-HL or NHL.
Consult with ER-Surgeon and Oncologist-as your team doctor.
-Excision Biopsy would relieve you of the worry you have with this lump.
-Anti-TB treatment or the anti-lymphoma treatment would releive the patient of the disease.
-Wishing you early recovery and good health.Wellcome again.
