Hi doctor,
I had a cold before fifteen days. When I was bathing, I felt a tiny enlargement on the left side of the neck. It was very tiny in the size of a half-sized pea. It was not visible and it is felt only when it is pressed. I got panic. So I visited the doctor and he told me that he does not feel anything. So, he gave me some antibiotics and it got disappeared after taking medicines. After twelve days, it became normal. During this period, I became anxious and got under stress. I used to check my neck and press my fingers on the parts of the neck on the left side where I felt the tiny node. When I lifting up on the right side, I was able to feel it and cannot feel it when I keep my necks normal. The size of this node has not decreased or increased. I had a neck X-ray and I had a mild tilt in the neck spondylosis. In the X-ray, nothing was visible. I feel normal nodes between the neck nerves.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
After carefully reading your detailed history, it seems like an enlarged neck node. I would like to ask you a few questions to help you treat the condition better. Please mention whether you had a fever or an evening rise of temperature, loss of weight, and sore throat. Neck nodes become enlarged due to many reasons. The most common reason is throat infection and it resolves on its own or by taking antibiotics. To confirm your condition, it is a neck node and USG (ultrasound scan) neck has to be done. An X-ray cannot diagnose swelling. You can start taking tablet Augmentin 625 mg (Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid) two times a day after food for five days, tablet Pan-D (Domperidone and Pantoprazole) in the morning before breakfast for five days, and tablet Sporlac DS (Lactic Acid Bacillus) two tablets two times a day for five days after taking food. Kindly follow back with the report.
