Causes Of 2 Lumps On The Left Neck?

Hello,

Thanks for asking at HealthReplies.com. Lumps on the neck can be caused by the following health conditions:

swollen lymph nodes; This condition is usually associated with an infection in the body such as a respiratory infection, ear infection, tooth infection. The lymph nodes will return to normal if the infection is cured

Glandular tuberculosis, namely infection with tuberculosis bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) in the lymph nodes
lymphoma, which is cancer of the lymph nodes
parapharyngeal tumor/abscess

To find out the cause of this lump, the doctor needs to know your complaint more fully and examine the lump in question and check your general health. The doctor will also perform additional examinations such as blood tests, sputum examinations, x-rays, and biopsies. A biopsy is a small surgical procedure that serves to take a small amount of tissue from the lump for examination in the laboratory so that the cause of this lump can be determined. Consumption of turmeric milk will not affect the operation.

In general, there is nothing specific to do before this procedure unless it is performed under general anaesthesia. If the procedure will be performed under general anesthesia then you are usually advised to fast for at least 6-8 hours before the procedure. But if local/regional anesthesia is applied then there is no special preparation that you need to do. After this procedure, you are usually asked to keep the wound clean and dry. You may need to change the dressing according to your doctor's advice. There is no specific food that you should consume, but you are still advised to consume a balanced nutritious diet.

After getting the results of this biopsy, don't forget to immediately consult a doctor and discuss the results and the next steps for treatment.

Hope this information is useful.
