What is Neck Swelling?

Neck swelling refers to any noticeable lump, bump, or enlargement in the neck region. It can appear suddenly or develop over time and may be painful or painless, mobile or fixed, and soft or hard. A thorough evaluation is necessary to determine the cause and appropriate course of action.
