Glands: Swollen gland in the neck can occur with viral or bacterial infections. Enlargement sometimes makes swallowing uncomfortable and can be easily palpated by a trained physician.

It can be that...: That you are just like the rest of us... all humans have many glands in their necks. Glands are in the skin, under the skin, next to muscles, under muscles, next to arteries and veins, under the jaw, next to the ears, next to the hairline, etc... The question is, why is this particular gland special enough to lead you to post a question on our forum. Details do matter. Please post a new question.

I have felt this hard lump in my neck for about 3 weeks now. I don't know how long it's been there since I only checked when I got the flu, but it doesn't seem to be going away. I don't know if it's my glands just swelling or what?
