HELLO AND WELCOME TO HCM.
THE LUMP U R TALKING ABOUT IN YOUR NECK IN ADAMS APPLE REGION SEEMS TOBE OF INFECTIVE ORIGIN IF IT HAS COMEIN 6 DAYS TIMEONLY. HOWEVER FOR CORRECT DIAGNOSIS WE NEED TO INVESTIGATE ABOUT IT FIRST. U NEED TO GO TO A PATHOLOGY LAB. THEY WILL TAKE SOME FLUID OUT OF THIS LUMP ANDSEND IT FOR EXAMINATION. TREATMENT WILL DEPEND ON WHAT THE REPORT OF THE TEST IS. THE TEST IS KNOWN AS FNAC.
