Lump

I have a lump under my chin it sore to swallow  and in a lot of pain upto my ears .ent appointment said it's virus  .but this as been here since September  .I know something  is not right 

  • Hello and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry you are worried about a lump you have, but glad an ENT doctor has reviewed you and they have diagnosed a virus.

    Lymph nodes can swell, harden, or feel lumpy when the body is fighting off infection or bacteria, and they can remain swollen for a while afterward.

    If you remain concerned about the lump do go back to your GP and let them know you are worried about cancer.

    Take care,

    Sarah
