Suggest Remedy For Lumps

I have a lump on my right side of my neck near my collar bone...no larger than 1 cm... its been there for years and its not growing in size.... went to the er they said it was nothing and its too small to do a biopsy on.... I am curious what it could be. I have neck pain and its hurts to swalow...could this be a sinus infection? I have always had the lump but now..odd things are happening...would appreciate any info! Thanks

Hi,Dear,Good Evening and Thanks for your query to HCM.I went through your query deails indepth.
-In my opinion,in relation to the facts told by you,its-Cervicle Lymphadenitis with Acute pharyngitis ? bacterial-TB sore throat ?
-Dont worry for the sore throat with the painful lump.
.Consult ER doctor- who would do-Mountaux test or PPD test with IGRA blood test to confirm the TB lymphadenitis.
-Excision biopsy would confirm TB diagnosis.
-Remedy-With antibiotics treatment with persistant symptoms and lump would lead to above tests and only after confirmation of TB diagnosis,the anti-TB drugs treatment is started for 6-18 mths.
Hope this would resolve your worries about the lump .Wellcome again for many more queries to HCM online Clinic-from you and your freinds
