Feeling a hard lump right side of neck

2025-03-26 18:29:12
One week back I had a sore throat, it was painful while swallowing food. My parents also suffered from sore throat at the same time. Since then I noticed this painless hard lump in the right side of my neck. I had taken Azithromycin for 5 days and the throat pain went within two days of medicine...but the lump is still there. Is it due to the infection or something else? What is the treatment for this lump? Can this be anything serious? I am concerned as this lump is situated in the extreme right and down side of my neck with no pain but the throat pain was near tonsils. I have shared the picture with my fingers pointing at the location of the lump.

Painless Hard Lump in the Neck 🔹 Mild Causes: ✅ Swollen Lymph Nodes: Often due to recent infections like sore throat or tonsillitis. These nodes can remain enlarged for weeks after the infection resolves. ✅ Benign Cyst: Sometimes, fluid-filled cysts can form in the neck and are usually harmless. 🔹 Serious Causes (if persistent): ⚠️ Chronic Infection: Conditions like tuberculosis or other bacterial infections can cause persistent lymph node swelling. ⚠️ Thyroid or Salivary Gland Issues: Problems with these glands can lead to lumps in the neck. ⚠️ Cancerous Growths: Rarely, a hard, painless lump could indicate a more serious condition like lymphoma or thyroid cancer. What You Should Do? ✅ Monitor the Lump: Note any changes in size, texture, or associated symptoms like fever, weight loss, or night sweats. ✅ Consult a Doctor: A healthcare provider may recommend imaging (like an ultrasound) or a biopsy if the lump persists or grows. ✅ Treatment: If the lump is due to an infection, antibiotics or other medications may be prescribed. For other causes, treatment will depend on the diagnosis. 👍 Like this info if it helped! 💙 📹 Need a detailed video consultation?
