Hi,

The lump you described may be infected and cause pain. A careful clinical examination will determine the localization of the lamp, rather it is within or outside the thyroid gland. An ultrasound and some blood tests such as full blood count, ERS and Protein C reactive will be also helpful. After the above exams your treating physician will suggest rather to take antibiotics or to remove it surgically.

Hope the information will help. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
Dr. Mirjeta
