Hi! thanks for sharing your son's health problem with us!
Well, if were your family physician for this case of neck lump with symptoms of sore throat,aching neck and loss of appetite, I would like to first confirm the diagnosis and for this I would suggest Ultrasound and a simple needle biopsy from the said lump; then I decide the line of treatment accordingly!
It seems that your son is having a thyroid nodule, neurofibroma, cyst or a hemangioma-like lesion, if not a lymph node...!
Wishing him good health; regards!
