Hello,
There are many kinds of lumps that may develop in the neck from enlarged lymph nodes to congenital cysts. Normally none of them should affect the growth.
You will need to have it checked and probably have an ultrasound to confirm what it is and if there is any need for further treatment and which are the possible complications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
