Hi, i just had a severe lung infection and got over it a few days ago. I also have asthma. Today I found a swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck, and a massive lump under my chin just above the hyoid bone. It is painful to tilt my head back. My throat isnt sore, I just have a slight cough. Please help in anyway possible. Thank you
