Lump in my neck

My gland, on the right, has swollen up. Really bad. Its been there for about three days now. No sore throat or anything. Its really hard and hurts if you put pressure on it. I dont know why. Help!

Answer #1

Not sure which gland you are talking about. Either way it is swollen because it is trying to get rid of some germ that has entered your body. Sometimes it can take weeks even months for the swelling to go all the way down, because as soon as it starts going down some other germ enters your body. If it is really sore go to your doctor, antibiotics may be in order.
