Brief Answer:
An X ray or FNAC if it is soft cystic swelling
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am
thanks for replying us again
You can ask for an X ray and an FNAC if it is a soft cystic swelling
Take all the reports and medical documents along with you if you have visited any doctor in the past
you should ask about the further course of action and prognosis
Chances of such swellings at any other site of the body in future.
I think a family physician can only ask for a Xray and FNAC. They might not be able to perform it themselves.
Hope this addresses your question
