When should I see a doctor about a lump in my neck?

Because the neck is full of so many different structures, there are a great number of opportunities for a lump to develop. However, in terms of seeing a doctor about a neck lump, the general rule is that if it is causing you breathing difficulties, you should seek medical assistance. Furthermore, if you have a neck lump that has not gone away within two weeks, make an appointment to see a doctor.

Mr Brian Fish is a leading otolaryngologist, and here he explains in detail when you should see an expert about a lump in your neck.

i have had 3 hard lymph nodes that run down the right side of my neck since before covid hit. i have no health insurance and already had cancer about 6 years ago in my neck.

i get enlarged lymph nodes on my neck when my sinus hits but they usually clear up in a few weeks. This morning i just saw a single lump on my collar bone, its soft and squishy and moves around when i touch it there's high probability thats its a enlarged lymph node because of the sinus allergy. but I'm still really worried because the first think that comes to mind with collarbone lumps is tumors and cancers and im only 21 so im freaking out as hell and im scared shitless. if it doesn't clear up in a few days or get smaller im gonna get it checked out. and to everyone here, PLEASE GET YOUR NECK AND COLLARBONE LUMPS CHECKED OUT. THEY CAN BE EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND EARLY DIAGNOSIS IS THE BEST WAY TO REMAIN SAFE. best of luck!

Mine isn’t bad at all, it’s just a bump between my neck and shoulder. It doesn’t hurt or anything, it just looks weird. It comes and goes, is this normal?

Hello, I have a small lump on the left side of my neck below my ear. It's not necessarily hard, I can push it down a little. Do you think it could be a cyst?

Hello doc, I have a lump on my right side of my neck. It is not visible and it's not painful in my normal days. It becomes painful whenever I have a cough. And when my cough is gone, the pain is also gone too. I always take vitamin C because whenever I stopped taking it, that's when I get prone to cough and cold.
