Regarding throat
Two days back, I had a lump on my right side of neck below jawline like 2 inches down. It got shrunk after a day now it's just 0.2 to 0.4 mm now. And keeps shrinking, now it got hard but it's rubbery. Also from last night I have trouble in my neck
like it has swollen although there's no change when I see it. In mirror wall looks fine. I feel it while swallowing. Pain isn't there much I feel like there's swelling. Not much though...
Also I been a chain smoker from past 4-5 years.
So i was worried.
Dear respected sir/mam.
It is normal or am i in trouble?
Please kindly let me know.
Thank you...

Hello,
This is nothing but the lymph node enlargement in the upper neck. And it enlarges when there is acute infection or inflammation in the oral cavity, lips, etc. Since you are having some discomfort, it is better to consult a doctor, directly or via video conference mode. And medication is recommended for the management of the problem.
Advice: Try to cut down on smoking habits, eat healthy foods, and try to decrease stress levels.
Brush your teeth twice daily, and maintain oral hygiene
Next Steps
Consult with ENT specialist for further opinion
