What Is The Reason Of Tiny Lump On Neck Side?
Hi there! My son is 3 years old and he has a tiny lump on the left side of his neck. He also keeps complaining that his right ear is hurting...we have been to the doctors and they said it was nothing. This has been persistent and he has had a constant running nose for 2 months now. Something is not right! Please help

Hello
Tiny lump in neck is generally due to enlarged lymph nodes.
Neck region is the draining site of lymph.Lymph nodes in this region may be enlarged due to ear,throat infection etc.
In your son's case, it may be due to problem in right ear.This should be evaluated.
Generally these conditions only require conservative treatment.
Underlying cause should be treated.
Get well soon.
Take Care
