Suggest Treatment For Lump In Neck

A chronic infection or malignancy is to be suspected
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. The findings of a 2.7 cm lymph node in the neck and another mass below the tongue is to be treated after making a confirmed diagnosis.
2. These findings can be an acute infection, chronic infection or rarely a malignancy.
3. An acute infection is ruled out if there is not much pain and no response to antibiotics.
I strongly recommend that you get a FNAC or biopsy from the neck lymph node to know if there is a chronic infection or malignancy at the earliest.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
