HI,Welcome with your query to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,your 8 mths old baby has a painless lump mostly from Reactive adenitis to the Vaccine shots,which he might have had lately,or it could be post-viral infection of the throat/chest.

I would suggest Second Opinion after Xray Chest/blood tests,from Surgeon,who would after proper diagnosis could treat according to its cause.

Hope you got the answer for your query.
