What to do if i have lumps on the left side of my neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do not ignore: Most likely infection and not cancer. However, could be lymphoma. Also, there are higher rates of throat/tonsil cancer with neck lymph nodes in young people who don't smoke due to HPV infection. However, remember this is most likely an infection. It may need treatment with an antibiotic. If lumps persist, just do not forget that cancer is a potential cause.
