Suggest Treatment For A Hard Lump On The Neck

Hard lump that appeared suddenly on neck? Yesterday I suddenly began to feel pain in the upper area of my neck, just below my jawline. When I pressed my fingers against the area, I felt a hard mass/lump under the skin. The pain has disappeared today, but the lump is still there. It s an oval shape that can t be moved. I ve made a doctor s appointment for Monday, but I m fearing the worst. I m only 19, please help.

Pediatric Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, welcome to healthcaremagic. It may be a lymph node swelling which had become prominent and painful due to some local infection. Please take a broad spectrum antibiotic like Tab. amoxycillin + clavulanate 625mg three times a day with Tab. Metronidazole 400mg three times a day for 5 days.
Hope it will resolve soon.
