Lymphadenitis
Please find the enclosed report of USG for back of neck . A small swelling is persisting from November-19 which is painless , mostly soft . I have taken antibiotics with antiinflamatory Chymoral forte. Now it is not increased and controlled. By visual it can't be seen but if touching feel a small mass is there. I don't have any other problems like fever , significant weight loss etc , No other swelling in the bodies.
1.) My doctor suggested to do FANAC. But due to the prolonged lockdown & staying at containment I am unable to go futher diagnosis. Is it really delaying? If anything suspected life threatening . What could be the probable result please advise .
2.) I have again done usg on last February then it was a chronic inflamatory lession with out any abnormal vascularity. I have attached current picture of affected area.

As it is over the nape of neck the inflammatory node could be due to any infection or biols or dandruff over the scalp(head) area...These are the areas which drain to lymph node over nape of neck...
Use a antidandruff shampoo and an antibiotic the lymph node will settle...
