Lump left side under chin.

Hello,

My name is Libbie, need abit of help. 
 

I found a lump on my left side of neck. Under the chin. It was a size of a peanut. Now 8 weeks it's a size of a large cherry or bigger. I cannot feel all of the lump, only half. I had a full blood count done and I'm low on folic acid which is completely normal for me. As I've been all my life. And have no infection. Or anything. It came back clear.

its hard very hard and not painful. But.. I've been having symptoms of sore throat, hurts when I swallow. And they been there for 3-4 months.

they said I have to wait 2 weeks to see if the lump goes down. And they if not they will book me for a scan. And another blood test? 
 

can I have some help please. Many thanks. 

  • Hi Libbie and welcome to the forum.

    It's good that the doctors have been running tests and will refer you if it hasn't gone down in the next 2 weeks, but we'll have our fingers crossed the lump will get smaller during this time and turns out to be no cause for concern.

    Kind regards,
