Neck Mass: Swollen Lymph Node

Lymph nodes are part of the immune system and help fight infection. However, sometimes they can get swollen when fighting infection or due to cancer. In these cases, lymph node removal surgery may be needed. See what to expect from neck lymph node surgery and recovery in this video.

i had this once during this quarantine... so this happened when I was gonna sleep, I suddenly felt a small lump on my neck like the ones on the video above, but it didn't hurt and my mom thought it was just the ''normal'' lymph node that fights infection and I thought it's just nothing and few weeks later I observed that it became big and I said that this isn't normal anymore and I was too afraid to tell my mom but I need to. And I went to her and showed the big lump on my neck and she said that I should apply a hot compress on it for minutes so that there will be no pain. And the another week, i suddenly became tired, and later on, i got a fever, and the lump is very hard and is very painful to touch. And my mom got scared so she took me to a safe hospital where there is no covid-19 patients and i got a blood test and my doctor said that i was safe. And i had this kind of infection called lymphadenitis and my doctor said that it isn't some kind of serious infection because the big lump on my neck can be cured by an antibiotic. And now i am fully recovered! Thanks be to God! For everyone who had this, i pray that you all be healed. Keep safe everyone!
P.S. i had this for about almost 2 months

P.S. omg thank u for the likes i rlly hope it helped

hey guys.
i noticed a firm painless bump over 6 months ago on the back of my neck, which i discredited at first until i noticed more and more start to show up. it got to the point where there were hard bumps popping out of my head and roughly 20-30 painless nodes throughout my body. obviously that was concerning, but what was even more concerning was my skin itching, and slight hair loss. the more and more i watched these symptoms occur, the more and more i thought it was lymphoma. but it WAS NOT.
guys, health anxiety is a real thing and i completely understand what it feels like. but when you notice these things, try to take some deep breaths. the odds are not against you. chances are, you’re not dying. and it’s not cancer 😭 and you can spend months worrying about something that really isn’t what you think.
obviously it’s important to listen to your body and act accordingly as you see fit. but don’t freak out. start off by trying not to touch them, and getting exercise, changing up your diet, and getting more rest. it’ll be okay :)

I’m 18 now, noticed this lump on the right side of my neck right under my jaw. It never hurt at all but it was large and I could move it around it was also tender, but never hurt which was concerning. I thought it would go away but even after a year later I still have it. I also have smaller large lymph nodes on both sides of my neck. But none of them ever hurt they’re all the same, painless and tender but moveable. Had an ultra sound they measured the biggest one of my left as 3cm x 1cm (something around that) I have TERRIBLE anxiety because of it. I get very fatigue and nauseous but I know it’s all in my head. I’m still getting it checked out so hoping it’s nothing bad. My doctor keeps telling me to watch it to see if it goes away but I will get more tests done because I’m never calm about it. Overall, it hasn’t affected my health other then my anxiety which is only mental but it is scary I have no family history of cancers or tumors or anything like that but I was very sick before I noticed my lymph nodes were swollen so hopefully it’s nothing bad.

So I'm seeing a lot of comments asking about the recovery of the surgery. I had it done today and after a nap, you are pretty much good to go. Don't do any heavy lifting or anything like that. Take care of the wound and don't stress over getting the procedure done. If you have some anxiety about the surgery, please tell your nurses and they will give you some medicine that will help you calm down. You may experience some nausea pre-surgery and post-surgery. Take your time with recovery. Don't immediately rip off your bandage and go back to normal life. You will be prescribed pain medication most likely. You will feel some tension in your neck but it is nothing to be afraid of. Please tell someone if you have these lumps and see a doctor as soon as possible!

I found myself dealing with swollen neck glands and intense pain, which turned out to be caused by mumps, a viral infection. Initially, my concern led me to scour the internet for answers, stumbling upon alarming videos discussing the possibility of neck cancer. However, upon consulting a specialist, I was swiftly reassured when they immediately identified the issue as mumps. This experience highlighted the increasing prevalence of mumps as a viral infection in urban areas like Delhi.

We all get swollen lymph nodes in life don't worry its completely normal, just get them checked out as soon as possible, most of the time its just a little infection.

Ouch…. I have that on my neck. It started hurting just today and I’m not sure if mine is serious or not, wish everyone good health!

I had an oddly shaped lateral one that appeared when I was about seven. We went to the doctor, who said it was harmless, but I never knew it was a common thing for kids to have! It lasted for a few years and disappeared entirely when I was a teenager :0

Hi! Even I had sore throat last week. I didn't take medicines as per the doctor's prescription. Now my left lymph node is paining (it is situated below the left ear near the jaw).After watching this video I freaked out and yesterday night I couldn't sleep. I googled my symptoms and it showed that it may cause cancer. Today I went to an ENT specialist and he said there's nothing to worry about it because the lymph nodes are tender. It got infected because of wrong medication. Don't worry

[haaey]

all my life since childhood I have a bump on my right side in my neck, same location in the video, it doesn’t hurt or bother me, but after seeing this I am disturbed.

If you have an acne it's normal to have swollen lymph nodes especially if you attempt to pop your pimples.
