What Causes Right-sided Lump On Neck, Severe Cold And Plugged Ears?

Hi I have a had a lump on the right side of my neck for about 4 months now. I noticed it when I had a bad cold and a plugged ear. the cold went away but the lump stayed so I went to see my GP. She felt it and said it is highly mobile and not fixed and should go down. I was concerned so she said I can go in for an ultrasound. I went in about 8 weeks later because it was still there. Technician couldn t say anything, except told me its flat like a pancake, 1cm x .5 x .1. My doctors office (receptionist) told me the next day that no further action is required, that it is benign. I ve had no followup with my GP about this, so I called the office to get a referral to an ENT and now I am just waiting for that appointment to get scheduled. The lump is the exact same size, appeared smaller to me a couple days ago because I did not touch it, but it could just be wishful thinking. I am so worried that I made an appointment with another doctor, I am going tomorrow. I don t know what I am going to do, I am fearing the worst, I have a small child and are hoping to try for a 2nd but that plan could be out the window if I am facing some serious health issues. Any advice would be appreciated. Regards

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, there are several lymph nodes situated in human body and it is part of system and some time such lymph nodes are visible in some subject in absence of related symptoms it may be normal one, in your case if it is near the ear then ear infection need to be ruled out but it is nothing to worry, hope this information may helps you, take care and have a nice day.
