[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Multiple swelling on side of neck could be due to lymph node enlargement; swelling of salivary gland; soft tissue swelling like muscle swelling, fibrous tissue swelling, etc. A tender swelling is probably due to lymph node enlargement. An infectious focus can lead to painful lymphadenitis. However, an ultrasound of neck along with aspiration cytology is required. In aspiration cytology, cells are aspirated from the swelling using a thin needle. The cells are spread on slide, stained with appropriate stains. These cells are examined microscopically and origin and nature of lesion is assessed. Treatment can be instituted after results of investigations is received. Reactive lymph node enlargement does not require any treatment. Control of infectious focus in head and neck will treat the reactive enlargement. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
