i m really scared!! i m 16, and since yesterday i noticed that when i swallow the right side of neck neck hurts. Its that part of my neck just below my right ear.. i m worried about it, because i feel it might be cancerous, because its just there on the right side and not the left. And that lump-like thing hurts when i press it... Is it normal??
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Forget about cancer ! It seems that you are having Acute tonsillitis on your right side giving you problem. Due to infection on tonsil, lymph node behind and back of your right ear is enlarged and becomes tender. Go for antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines after consulting your doctor. Do warm water or Listerine gargles. Avoid fried, junk food and cold Chat Doctor. Ok and bye.
