A member asked:

18,have two painless movable lumps(>1cm in size)on the right side of neck n doc said its normal and cuz of a throat infection.im scared its lymphoma.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probable infection: Throat infection probable cause of the problem especially if the two nodes are on the same side as the throat infection. With antibiotics for the infection/nodes, they should subside within a 2 wk. period of time. If the do get smaller and do not increase in number while on meds, one can rule out lymphoma.
