What Is The Medication For Swelling On Right Neck Which Is Soft And Spongy?

Hi ... I have a very noticable swelling on the right side of my neck just above my clavicle. Maybe some swelling on the left side, but very noticable on the right. No significant pain. It is spongy and soft, like a swollen ankle might fee with water retentionl. Just noticed it today.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The most common lumps or swellings in the neck are enlarged lymph nodes.
These can be caused by bacterial or viral infections.
I suggest to do an ultrasound of the neck for further evaluation.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.


Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
