Hi, I have had a lump on the left side of my neck (posteria cervical node area?)that has been there for about 8 weeks. Previously, it did not hurt at all however, over the last week it has become very sore and uncomfortable. Its got bigger and I have also noticed two more lumps on my right side now. I started getting the odd dizzy spell as soon as I stood up a couple of days ago which have become increasingly worse and now I have become quite tight chested as well. My throat doesnt hurt but my whole neck aches. Any idea what is going on?Thanks.
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. According to the history - the features suggestive of infective etiology (bacterial infection).2. Tenderness and collection seems localized infection in first possibilities.3. The next possible cause could be enlarged lymph node witChatDoctorplicated etiology can not be ruled out - lymph nodal enlargement is generally seen after any systemic / local infection / inflammation.4.Finally, form any gland (thyroid, submandibular,parotid) - ultrasound neck will help to analyze the nature of lump and its source and extensions.5. After that by nature an FNAC - fine needle aspiration may or may not be necessary - jut a course of antibiotic might help. Needs to examine first. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
