Hi,

A lump on the neck can have various causes, including infections, cysts, or tumors. The treatment for the lump would depend on its underlying cause. If the lump is due to an infection, such as an abscess, then drainage and antibiotics may be necessary. If the lump is a cyst, it may need to be drained or surgically removed.

If the lump is a tumor, the treatment may involve surgical removal, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Your mother's doctor may recommend further tests or referrals to specialists, such as an ENT doctor or an oncologist, depending on the findings of the examination and any imaging tests.

If you require a personalized response, kindly use the Ask A Doctor service and post a follow-up. Take care. Hope I have answered your question.

Regards,
