Hello...
Thanks for contacting HCM for health query.
Your son is 11 years old and has been suspected to have goitre.
Goitre is a swelling in the front of neck arising from thyroid gland. Don't be panic. Considering the age of your son, it could be Puberty goitre also.
Puberty goitre is nothing but a physiological enlargement of the gland, as growth gears up.
But anyway take up Ultrasound Thyroid and Thyroid Profile and ensure normalcy.
Hope this helps !!!
Take care
