What Causes A Lump Above The Thyroid Gland?

hi I have an oblong lump above my thyroid on the right side, I noticed it when i was rubbing cream on my neck but initially it was tiny but it has gradually got bigger. Could it be a lymph node? i am feeling fine but have been quite tired over this past 6 weeks. I have had this lump now for roughly 3 months. Do I wait longer or visit doctor? And what do i say?

Hi,You need to consult a Surgeon urgtly.
Its mostly a lymphadenitis ? above rt thyroid gland ? Jugulo-Diagastric lymphnode is the possible lump.
Fnac Biopsy of the lump would fix the diagnosis in your case.
