What Causes A Lump In The Neck?

default
Posted on Tue, 25 Oct 2016
Question: Hi, My friend has a small lump of size 1 cm by 0.5 cm on the side of her neck just below her ear. It is hard and feels almost like a bone. She has seen 1 ENT specialist who is not concerned.
But I am. What do you think.

Brief Answer:
Is she having any other symptoms?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry to hear about this lump and al the inconveniences this has caused you both. Lumps alone are no cause for concern unless they are many and associated with other symptoms. Can you please let me know if your friend has any other symptoms? If there are no other symptoms, I wouldn't be worried that much. If there are, I will analyse in context and get back to you.

I hope to hear from you on this.

Thanks
