What is this ball on the right side of my neck?!


Question: What is this ball on the right side of my neck?
I woke up to a ball on the right side of my neck. I have been sick for two days now and I read somewere that it could be a lymph node. I read somewere else, though, that it could be cancer. Can you tell me what it is?

Answers:

Lymph nodes can become swollen during an infection. In fact, that is the most common reason for swollen lymph nodes. Yes, sometimes they can be cancer - a cancer of the lymphatic system or a cancer that started somewhere else and spread to the lymph nodes. Or a "ball" on the right side of the neck could be something else. But no one can diagnose that on the internet. You would have to ask a doctor.



It is called a "Node" which comes from cracking your neck to much. There are two ways to get rid of it, time, or surgery. Don't worry it is harmless. ;)

Doctors son cancer doesn't form over night



since you've been sick it can just be a swollen tonsil
