General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,
i can understand your concern.
based on the symptom and the location of the lump it appears to be as a swollen lymph node.
with what you have mentioned i assume it be painful.
painful lymph nodes are usually enlarged in response to any infection in our body.
but this would require a proper physical examination to be sure about.
it is usually treated with a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs.
an fnac(fine needle aspiration cytology)would be advised if this doesnt subside.
hope i have answered your queries.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM
