I'm a 22 year old female who has had a pea-sized lump on the left side of her neck for about two months. It is located around two to three inches below my ear. It is pretty much in the region where there are a bunch of lymph nodes.
Before I continue with my question, I should inform you that I have been feeling under the weather for the past few weeks for an unrelated stomach issue which has since resolved itself. I've developed a bit of acid reflux and have been waking up with a pretty bad cough for the past three nights. Because of this stomach pain and acid reflux issues I've been in and out of the doctor and ER, where I've had around 5 different blood tests (cbc, liver, pretty much everything that did not require fasting) and three urine tests. All of which have come back normal. Apart from this issue, I am generally healthy with no real problem.
Overall, the lump has never given me any real problems. In fact, I forgot about it for a while. It is not painful. It is definitely movable. I have of course googled it and a common result seems to come up as lymphoma. I'm pretty certain certain that it couldn't be that considering that I don't have any of the symptoms related to it (no night sweats, no fever, no itchiness, etc.).
So my question is, do you think this is something serious or it just likely a pesky enlarged lymph node?

To be honest it sounds to me like it could also be cystic acne which I have gotten in that area as well. I think it's a good idea to see a doctor just to make sure it's not something more serious though, okay? Let me know wha tyou think.

I have a lump in throat on the left side near Adam's apple. Is there any over the counter meds to take for this, if it is reflux related?
