I have a lump in my neck but when I put my head down to the side I can feel it move, I have the same thing on the other side but I don t feel it as much when I move my neck that way. I m not feeling any other signs so idk what the cause of it would be.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain a movable lump on both sides of neck can be a swollen lymph node and is most commonly indicative of infection..

It can be due to causes like:
1. Any prevailing or recurring infections on facial structures like ear, throat, nose,teeth, salivary glands, teeth and gums etc or at times infections of distant body parts may cause secondary infection and swelling in distant lymph nodes..
2.Any long standing debilitating diseases..
3.Wisdom tooth eruption or infection of the gum flap over wisdom tooth..

I would suggest you to consult a general physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and FNAC/BIOPSY of the nodes can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..

In case of infection antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicine and warm compresses over the nodes can help in resolution..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
