Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
Last night, I ate a piece of baguette, and something happened with my throat. My left tonsil has sunken into its socket. My throat feels different, and when I feel my neck, there’s a hard lump on the left side. What should I do?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
The lump in your neck might have been there before and was noticed after eating. If it’s painful, try anti-inflammatory medications and antibiotics for a week. If there's no improvement, consult a doctor. If the lump isn’t painful, you should see a doctor right away for a thorough examination.
Thanks
