Swollen Internal hard lump in neck 1side
Suddenly overnight 3 days back, when I woke up, I got a hard lump on right side of my neck below my ears. It is very painful and because of the lump, im constantly getting fevers. If I touch the lump, it is very painful..
I tried hot spongeing on the lump, no difference. So far, I have only been eating paracetamol for the fever.
The lump is hard, its not soft like the ones with fluid in them. It is NOT moving when I press over the lump or run my fingers over the lump.
It came suddenly overnight. My parents think it is because I take bath in the night and apply oil in the night and sleep directly below the AC.
But what is the real reason? Kindly help me.

This looks like acute lymphadenopathy .. usually occurs due to an ongoing infection either in the oral cavity, tonsils or pharynx ... Kindly provide a detailed history ... It can be managed with meds although if it doesn't resolve then it may require investigation like an fnac or ultrasound
