How To Treat Large Lump Of 2cm On Left Side Of Neck?

My 9yr old son has a firm round lump approx 2cm on the left side of his neck. He had an ultrasound about 2yrs ago and was deemed to just be a harmless lymph node. However it has started to get bigger and I googled it and am now terribly frightened. He has no other symptoms and cause him no pain. Should I be worried?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Best option is do a excision biopsy of lump , and see what comes on histopatholgy , most of times it comes out to be a benign nonspecific lymphadenitis.

You need not to worry but discuss about need of excision biopsy with your doctor.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing your son good health.
