Lumps and pain in neck
I am again asking this question but this time with photographs. Five days back i felt soft small lumps on both sides of the neck(one on each side). I also noticed red dots and itching in my throat. I took allopathy medicine , now that red spots and itching disappeared but lumps are still there. I feel pain when i move my neck upward or while yawning( Pain has also decreased by allopathy medicine which i took from chemist).Pain feels like 'Jaise neck ki skin khich rhi ho'. I have shared the picture where i put arrow on neck , that's the place where i feel stretching of skin or pain. In one picture i am showing lump near jaw. I can move that lump from neck to near jaw or lumps are present near jaw only. Lumps don't pain if i press them. If i put a lot of pressure than it pain a liitle bit like 2%.Please tell me what is it? Is serious problem?I am not facing any swallowing and breathing problem. (I am suffering from Acid Reflux and Anxiety....I have a long skinny neck...I am very Skinny)

Hello, by the description, it looks like lymph nodes. But it could also be salivary gland swelling. Does this swelling increase in size with food consumption, if it does then possibly related to salivary gland or else possibly not. The lymph nodes swelling usually takes few weeks to come down in size. So if it is not troubling you thenkeep a track of size and wait. If causing pain etc then get an ultrasound neck or else wait.
Next Steps
If change in swelling get ultrasound and consult an ENT surgeon online or locally
Health Tips
Do not try to keep palpating very often Just track size and pain
