I have a lump on my right side of my neck near my collar bone...no larger than 1 cm... its been there for years and its not growing in size.... went to the er they said it was nothing and its too small to do a biopsy on.... I am curious what it could be. I have neck pain and its hurts to swalow...could this be a sinus infection? I have always had the lump but now..odd things are happening...would appreciate any info! Thanks
Hi, Dear,Good Evening, and Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. I went through your query details in depth.-In my opinion, in relation to the facts told by you, its-Cervicle Lymphadenitis with Acute pharyngitis ? Bacterial-TB sore throat ?-Don't worry about the sore throat with the painful lump. Consult ER doctor-who would do-Mountaux test or PPD test with IRA blood test to confirm the TB lymphadenitis.-Excision biopsy would confirm TB diagnosis.-Remedy-With antibiotics treatment with persistent symptoms and lump would lead to above tests and only after confirmation of TB diagnosis, the anti-TB Chat Doctor. Hope this would resolve your worries about the lump. Wellcome again for many more queries to Chat Doctor online Clinic-from you and your friends
