Introduction
Under normal circumstances, a富贵包 (a fatty lump at the back of the neck) may be caused by improper sitting posture, obesity, cervical osteophyte formation, cervical spondylosis, or enlarged cervical lymph nodes. Patients are advised to avoid prolonged periods of looking down, maintain dietary control, or take medications such as celecoxib capsules, mecobalamin tablets, or roxithromycin dispersible tablets under a doctor's guidance. In daily life, it is important to maintain good posture while sitting and standing, as well as healthy lifestyle habits.

Generally, a富贵包 (a lump at the back of the neck) may be caused by incorrect sitting posture, obesity, cervical osteophyte (bone spur), cervical spondylosis, or swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Patients are advised to avoid prolonged periods of looking downward, manage their diet, or take medications such as Celecoxib Capsules, Mecobalamin Tablets, and Roxithromycin Dispersible Tablets under a doctor's guidance. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Incorrect posture: Prolonged periods of looking down at a phone or computer, or maintaining an improper sitting posture can lead to abnormal accumulation of fat or soft tissue at the back of the neck. This may cause a lump at the back of the neck, accompanied by neck pain and stiffness, manifesting as a富贵包. It is recommended to adjust sitting posture, avoid prolonged periods of looking downward, and frequently perform neck stretching and rotational exercises.

2. Obesity: Generalized obesity can cause fat accumulation in the neck, forming a富贵包, which may be accompanied by symptoms of overall weight gain and mobility difficulties. It is recommended to manage diet, increase physical activity, and lose weight.

3. Cervical osteophyte (bone spur): Bone spurs may form on the edges of cervical vertebrae, causing thickening of soft tissues or fat accumulation at the back of the neck. This may also be accompanied by neck pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Patients can take medications such as Celecoxib Capsules, Ibuprofen Sustained-release Capsules, and Chlorzoxazone Tablets under a doctor's guidance to alleviate symptoms.

4. Cervical spondylosis: Abnormalities in cervical structure or function may lead to soft tissue damage and fat accumulation in the neck, resulting in a neck protrusion, accompanied by symptoms such as neck pain, dizziness, numb hands, and shoulder or back pain. Patients can follow medical advice to take medications such as Diclofenac Sodium Enteric-coated Tablets, Mecobalamin Tablets, and Eperisone Hydrochloride Tablets for treatment.

5. Swollen lymph nodes in the neck: Inflammation or infection may cause swollen lymph nodes in the neck, leading to a lump at the back of the neck (富贵包), possibly accompanied by neck pain, fever, cough, and phlegm production. Patients may take medications such as Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium Tablets, Roxithromycin Dispersible Tablets, and Levofloxacin Hydrochloride Capsules under medical guidance until symptoms improve.

In daily life, it is important to maintain good habits, including proper posture while sitting and standing. When experiencing cervical discomfort, timely massage should be performed, and physical exercise should be increased along with appropriate dietary control.
