Is There Any Relation Between The Lumps In Neck And Chronic Cough?
7 year old has two large lumps in his neck, present for over a year. He has been referred to ENT but the appointment is some weeks away. Patient also coughs a lot whilst he is eating and has done so for as long as I can remember (I've always assumed it was just a habit he has picked up but I'm wondering now if it may be linked to the neck lumps. What do you think? Should I go privately and have him seen sooner?
