Lump on my neck...?!
Question: Lump on my neck!.!.!.!?
I've had this lump on the front of my neck, just below my chin and slightly to the left, for a few days now!. I'm wondering if it could be an allergic reaction since I had ginger for the first time the day the lump appeared!. I'm not really overweight or anything so I do not think it is my thyroid!. Any other suggestions as to what it could be!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Sounds more like a lymph; but it wouldn't be affected by the ginger or allergies, rather by something in your blood that is upsetting it!. The lymphs clean the water and blood in the body from offending particles that have made it all the way through!. They trap them and that causes the swelling!. If it doesn't improve at all, go see a health care provider!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It could be a swollen lymph node!. If you've recently had an infection or virus, the body concentrates it in the lymph nodes, part of the body's defense mechanism!. Here are links with diagrams to help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
