What Treatment To Be Taken For The Lump Under Left Side Of Neck Under Ear?

Lump under left side of neck under ear,always feeling pressure in that part,Grey or yellowish sputum is produced in throat esp,. after having food. What should be done? Hello Doctor, I have a lump on the left side of my neck, just under the jawbone and my ear.Though its not visible outside, I can feel it when I touch.It is firm and not painful unless I keep pressing on it. I have a pressure feeling in that ear, and quite a lot of sputum(Grey or yellow) is produced in the throat esp, after having food(Sometimes I see blood strains in that).Most of the time I feel feverish and tired.But if I am involved in physical acitivity I feel quite normal. I have consulted lot of doctors with tests like blood,sputum,x-ray,USG. They said the results are normal.But their medication doesn t solve my problem.It s been there for me more than a year now but not getting any better.These is causing lot of mental stress for me so that I can t concentrate on my work.can you please tell me what to do?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

As your history is of a chronic long duration, and all the routine investigations are normal, if I were your doctor, I would go for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration biopsy) under the guidance of a surgeon/ENT specialist after a full physical examination. Further management would depend on the report of biopsy. Till then, you can go for some anti inflammatory drug for your discomfort. There is no need to be in stress at present and be patient.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
