I'm 18, and female, and have had a small lump on the left side of my neck of around 2 months. The lump hasn't changed size at all. 3 weeks prior to discovering the lump I had an infection for a month (viral and throat infection). I never took antibiotics when I had the infection as the ones I was given were giving me an upset stomach. Do you think the lump on my neck is related to my infection, or is it something I should be worried about? The lump dosen't seem fixed, and sometimes is soft, sometimes hard. I also noticed around a few weeks ago I also have one on the right side, around 5cm above the collarbone it seems a bit harder then the other one. My underarms have been itchy for a while too.
Not sure if any of this is related but I don't smoke or drink, I have anxiety, and I am a little overweight but I have a relatively good diet and I exercise (cardio) just about every day.
I haven't been to a doctor family thinks it will be a waste of time due to my health anxiety. In January I thought I was having a stroke (it was just an anxiety attack) even went to the emergency room and before the lymphoma scare I convinced myself I had diabetes.
