Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Neck

My wife and I went out for dinner last Friday night. She had seafood and woke up the next morning with a lump on the right side of her neck. We assumed it was an allergic reaction. It seemed to get smaller but a week later it was still there. We went to the doctor and they did an ultrasound. Said it is a cyst/nodule, part liquid part solid. Her blood work for thyroid issues was taken and came back perfect. Is this a temporary condition or something else?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have some enlarged lymphnode due to reactive hyperplasia or some benign cyst. No need to worry. Just be relaxed. It is not serious. She should take a course of antibiotics. If lump doesn't respond to treatment then excision biopsy should be done. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
