Child Having Lump On Back, No Pain. What Might Be The Problem?
I have a 10 yr old daughter who has a lump on the left side of her back near her spine . I took her to fast track about 2 months ago and they said it was a muscle spams. But it s been 2 months and the lump has not went away. She says it does not hurt her and when I touch it feels like her back muscle is very tense. Can someone help explain what might be the problem?
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. A lump in the back near the spine in a child can be due to a soft tissue swelling, an infection like abscess or a swelling related to the spine. This needs a direct examination for diagnosis. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
