I Have A Small Lump On The Left Side Of My Neck Around Where The Arteries Are
I have a small lump on the left side of my neck around where the arteries are. The left side of my throat also hurts. When I turn my head left or up and to the right, it hurts like if I pulled a muscle. My left ear hurts too. Like an infection. This started last night.

Hi.
The neck lump can be a lymph node or a cyst of a thyroid.
If this is painful. try a course of antibiotic for 5 days along with anti-inflammatory medicines.
I would advise to get a prescription form a Doctor who would also check you clinically.
The earache may be due to infection , may not be related t the neck swelling.
