Small lump in neck
There is a small lump inside my neck just under the right ear. It is not visible from outside but can be felt with fingers. I got a throat USG done but no such lump was visible. It's completely painless and causes no disturbance. I completed 7 days course of antibiotics. Is it ok to leave it like that or do I need to do something?

Most probably a lymph node. Nothing to worry. Just keep an eye for sudden enlargements.

It can be a tiny lymph node
If it is not detected on USG , it must be of size less than 1 cm
