Over a week ago my 8 year old daughter noticed a lump on the left hand side of her neck. We took her to the pharmacy initially and they thought it might be a cyst due to the location and size. We then went to out of hours doctor who thought it might be a cyst as well.
When the doctors surgery opened on a Monday we took her for a check-up and the doctor noticed a few small lymph nodes on her right-hand side and said the lump on the left-hand side was a supraclavicular lymph node, she told us to come back after a week as it was most likely related to a mild cold she had the week earlier. We returned after a week and nothing has changed she still has the swelling with no tenderness and is well in her self other than the swollen lymph node.
The doctor has now given us a 2-week referral and never gave much more info ( I am calling her again tomorrow). In the meantime, I’ve booked a private paediatric ENT specialist so that I can try and get her looked at sooner.
Me and my wife are worried sick and trying not to look too much up on google but anything I’ve seen with lack of tenderness and supraclavicular nodes all point to grim diagnosis.
Sorry for rambling on, so worried and struggling to find info that’s not medical journals etc online.
Any advice would be appreciated.
