I'm noticing a small hard lump on the side of my neck, and it just appeared a day ago. I'm a bit worried because I've had throat and ear infections in the past. Plus, I smoke and drink. Could this lump be something related to my medical history? Also, which type of doctor should I see for this?

I had a mastoidectomy tympanoplasty about three weeks back, and ever since, I've been hearing these dub dub sounds every now and then. But since yesterday, I've been hearing it a lot more, and just today, it went on for about 20-30 minutes straight. There's no pain, but I'm really curious about why this is happening. It seems to get worse when I'm traveling, especially if there are potholes on the road. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
