Question:
Painful spot to the touch on right side of neck. What could be wrong?
I have a spot on the right side of my neck that is painful to the touch most of the time. I can't turn my head to the left sometimes, and it sometimes causes my tongue to hurt on the right side as well. Three people have seen the spot swelled and one said it could be a lymph node. It started right after I had a very bad sinus infection. What could it be? I hope it isn't lymph node cancer.

That's a good thing to take to your doctor or nurse practitioner. It could be as simple as an infection that needs antibiotics to clear up, it could be something else, I don't know. Regardless of what it is or isn't, your symptoms definitely warrant a trip into the doctor or clinic (but not the ER).
