For huge bump on side of my neck, should i ice it or apply heat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hurts or Hot?: If so, then ice may be helpful. However I would recommend you see your doctor to figure out what it could be. Options include swollen lymph node, boil, lipoma or even a taut muscle band/spasm.
