I've had a lump on my throat for about a month now?
I've had this big lump, very noticeable when i tilt my head, on the left side of my neck for about a month now and i don't know what it means.. no sore throat, no toothaches.. no nothing other than this lump, which doesn't even hurt.. maybe a teeny tiny bit of soreness when i press fairly hard on it.. what is it?? I'm scared...

You should research it online in reputable medical websites. I really think you need to call your doctor if it has been there that long though. Sometimes it is best to be safe & have it checked out than it turn out to be serious and get worse.
It could possibly be a swollen lymph node. I would go to the doctor to make sure it's okay though. Your lymph nodes will swell when you've become sick because they aid in fighting off infection, but if it remains for an extended amount of time, it could be serious. Definitely give the doctor a visit and ask them about it.
Can just be glands, infection, cyst anything truly you must have it checked and maybe get rid of it as it appears to be noticeable to you......Good Luck, please got get it looked at though....health is so important, take care
