Are Swollen Lymph Nodes Related With Lumps On Neck?

I have a small hard lump on the left side of my neck i went to my GP who basically said it was a swollen lymph node without even feeling it. I have had a cold but this eased a week or so ago the lump is still there it is painless and moves side to side when pressed. Cant help but think the worse as ive had colds before and never noticed any lumps.

Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have enlarged lump in neck. You have cold so there is high chance of enlarged cervical lymphnode due to reactive hyperplasia. You should take antibiotics treatment. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable to rule out tuberculosis or lymphoma.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
