Will The Small Thyroid Cyst Go Away On Its Own Or What Can I Do To Get Rid Of It?
Question: Please find attached scan report and bloods.
I found a lump in my neck and although the results don't show anything worrying I still am.
The lump is painful at times but other times it isn't. I feel generally unwell.
I am worried because there is a history of cancer in my family of rectal, ovarian and throat.
Do I need to be worried regarding my results?

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the reports. As per your description, it looks like a harmless enlargement of your lymph node. It may be due to minor infection and nothing to worry about it.
Ultrasound does not suggest any suspicious or significant disease condition.
Nothing to worry and it will probably resolve by it own in few days.
Hope I have answered your query.
