| Lump on Esophagus...
Hello,
Living in Oklahoma the weather changes are dramatic and cause a lot of allergy problems.
I recently found a hard lump on the left side of my neck, it feels like a swollen gland or something. The right side has one that isn't swollen, but I can feel it.
It's nonpainful, and doesn't give me a problem swallowing, talking or anything. I've been gargling with hydrogen peroxide since I found it, which gives a little relief.
I do smoke, and I recently stopped drinking.
Could the cession of alcohol after a long period of mass use have anything to do with a weakened immune system from withdrawl that would cause a gland to swell? I've also had lightheadedness on and off, and a runny nose comes and goes.
The lump isn't bothersome, and has only been here about 3-4 days. Sometimes I feel like excess mucus is built on it, which the peroxide can rid of a lot.
I've quit smoking as much since, and feel like it can only make it worse. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
-Bobby
