What Does A Lump Under The Jaw Indicate?

Two months ago I had a ct scan due to neck issues. They saw I had large lymph nodes approximately 2 centimeters. I then went to an ENT and he couldn t feel anything so he wasn t able todo a biopsy so he sent me to a nearby facilities to have a sonogram on my neck to help for the biopsy. A biopsy was taken and the results came back good with no cancer Involvement. I then went on November 18th to the ENT cause he wanted to do a check up to make sure there is no growth. He felt no such growth and told me I am fine. Recently however within the past two days. When I bend my neck down and but my chin on my chest if I move my head left or right I feel like a little bump right under my jaw. Should I be concerned or am I just paranoid? Like I said its been less then a month since I went to the ENT.

Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Although the feeling could be due to the scar tissue following the biopsy (if it was an open biopsy), I would definitely send you to the ENT specialist for a review before you label your symptoms as paranoid.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
