Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 28 year old male. I got a lump in the right side of my neck before two weeks. I am taking capsule Cipmox 500, but it has not yet cured. Though it is not painful, I am worried. It never happened earlier. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. We are here to help you. Such neck lump needs clinical examination to get an idea what it is. If it is mobile, painless and static in size, then it could be a fat deposit known as lipoma. In case it is painful, then it can be an abscess or lymph node. The best way out is to get a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) done to check for what it is exactly and treatment would be based on that.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
