I Have A Hard Lump In The Right Side Of My Neck Area

Hi Dr Dorian, I am a female, 42 years of age 5ft 3inches and 136 lbs. For one month now I have a hard lump in the right side of the neck area more along the throat area. it feels like its outside my gland. I have gone to the doctor who said that I may have an infection and he give me augmentin tabs to take for seven days and the lump would go away. I took the augmentin and the lump is still there feeling like its getting better. Maybe a quarter coin in size. I have been told to go and see an ENT doctor.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. Yes, you must have a consultation with ENT Surgeon who would clinically check you to see the nature of the lump and its draianage area for a focus of infection.

An Ultrasound and guided FNAC will give a proper diagnosis.
