Hello all,

A few months ago I discovered a lump on the right side of my neck, under the jaw. I went to my MD, and was prescribed Antibiotics, after being told it was probably just an infection - or """Something else...""".

Unfortunately the antibiotics didn't fix the problem at all, and instead of going back, I have been waiting for the problem to go away on its own for a few months.

Today I found another swelling on my neck, on the left side, below the level of my Adam's Apple. It doesn't feel the same as the first lump, more like a cramped/strained/pulled muscle, but it prompted me to get off my arse and ask someone about it/them.

I really dislike going to MDs, by the way. They usually give me a (rather large) verbal list of what is wrong with me (back issues, knee issues (both), other join issues, asthma, hearing issue, etc - and I'm only 19) and never seem to give me good news.

Any input and/or advice is appreciated.

Sam.

Hello Sam and WELCOME to RDOC. You probably already know what I am about to say-----GET TO A DOCTOR. You need to find out what this is one way or another...It could be nothing but if it is left alone it may become SOMETHING. So I ask you to please get to a DOCTOR. You are only 19, you may be young, but you are not ignorant or you would not have came to the site...So let me hear from you when you have gone and keep me posted on the appts. PLEASE!! Always Vicki Lynn. Oral cancer since 1989.

Hello Sam

Get back to your doctor! The antibiotics were for a suspected infection; if it didn't do the trick you were supposed to get back!
Quit stalling! :banghead: Cancer or not, you need to have it investigated and treated.

Best wishes
