What Causes Lumps On The Left Side Of The Neck?

I woke up this morning and I found 3 lumps on the left side neck. The top one is largest, around 3 peas size. The other 2 are pea size, 1 halfway down, and 1 at the base of the neck. They are a little bit painful to touch, the left side of my neck is generally a little stiff too. Last week I had been suffering from painful headaches/migraine attacks.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The most common lumps or swellings are enlarged lymph nodes.
These can be caused by bacterial or viral infection.
I recommend to do a complete blood count and an x-ray of the neck for further evaluation.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.


Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
