What Causes Pain In The Neck And Throat Infection?

Hello I have localized pain on the right side of my neck, very small area, when I press on it. Not sure if it is my lymph node that is painful. What are the possible causes of this type of pain, as I have no obvious infection now, but it all started a few months ago with a severe throat infection, where my glands were swollen and painful. I have a history of breast cancer since 2010 and worried about it. When I went to see the ENT Specialist a few months ago, she said she could not feel any swollen lymph nodes. I think I can feel a very tiny lump that is painful and is most difficult to palpate.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I reviewed your history.
Pain in the neck can be because of swollen lymph nodes as told by your doctor and this requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.


Thank you
