L have a tiny lump, Pls help urgently.?

l have a tiny lump in the front of my neck. lts been there for the past 4 years, as at last year, its started increasing and still painless. l went to my doctor, he checked it and said its nothing to worry about. l so went to a laboratory centre to see if l can get a test done, the lab tech checked it and told me to remove my mind from there, thats its an innocent growth.
My problem now is that, since past 3days now, it has started to pain me and giving me slight headache and discomfort on my throat. pls what do you think???

Always get a second opinion. The lab tech is not a doctor and was irresponsible for telling you to remove your mind from there. Get to a doctor who will listen and insist, absolutely insist on a biopsy. If it is nothing your mind will rest. If it is something then early intervention is key.
Also it may just be a lymph node that is a little infected and may need an antibiotic or just time to heal. But find out!
I have taken care of more than one patient who was told by a doctor that a lump was nothing that turned out to be something. A second opinion is a must.

I think the pain is all in your head. If it bothers you have it removed.
