Hi, a friend has several lumps on the left side of the neck, and behind the ear, and now she has two on her left shoulder. She is in pain, and she was taking antibiotics and morphine pills. The Dr. doesnt know what it is. Unfortunately, thats all the information I have.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:1. Lumps on the side of neck and behind the ear are most often secondary to infection in the oropharynx or ear. 2. It usually settles with the control of primary infection with antibiotics.3. If it persists or is bothering then you can get a fine needle aspiration cytology done to find out the possible nature of lesion.4. However, multiple lymph node enlargement needs to be evaluated to rule out any lymphoproliferative disorder. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
