How Can A Sore Lump On The Neck Be Treated?
My 10 year old daughter has been complaining of a sore neck to touch tonight. On examining her neck I found an almond sized and shaped lump which moves freely under the skin. I m in a state of panic now and hoping you may be able to shed some light on this.

Hello. The lump most likely would be a lymph node. You are not to worry about it. It will dissapear as the sore throat settles. I would recommend salt or betadine gargle five times a day. And paracetamol if she's running temperature.
