Lump on the right side of neck?!


Question:

Lump on the right side of neck?

I recently discovered a lump on the right side of my neck this morning, it is not in a gland area it actually feels like it is in the muscle. Now granted it hurts but I think that is only because I have been messing with it all day cause I realize it is there? Has anyone had this or had any idea. It is not really big. Where are all you lymp node in your neck...like on the actual side or does this seem like a muscle thing?


Answers:

there are many things that could cause this, although most are not serious. consult a doctor if the lump grows larger as this may be a simple cyst. lymph nodes are located at the base of your neck just below the jaw. if you had an infection of the lymphactic system pain and swelling would most likely occur in your armpit on that same side. however, it would be a good idea to go to a clinic to be sure.
