General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, after the apparent failure of the antibiotic for 09 months and increase in size of the lump, I would advise you for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of the lump. If this is inconclusive, I would redo the FNAC along with a CT scan of your neck, chest and abdomen. OVer and above the findings of a detailed physical examination would also help in co relating with the repots of investigations. Further management would depend on all of the above.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
