What Causes Swollen Lymph Node On Neck?

Hi, I have a lump on the side of my neck under the skin. Pretty sure its a node but feels enlarged. Ive had a sore throat, but doesnt look red. Have been getting over bronchitis that started with cold symptoms and low grade fever for two days about 4 weeks ago.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you to take broad spectrum antibiotic like azithromycin for a week. Thereafter if the condition won't improve you should think of FNAC of the lymph nodes and take the treatment accordingly. If not treated I'm that time tuberculosis should be suspected.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
