Hello,
A brief as possible background - I've had on and off bouts of illness for around 4-5 months now. A mixture of colds, flu and sinus infections. Which is very unlike me.
About two months ago I had a cold and after that noticed that I had a small lump on my neck, pretty much right under my chin. It went down slightly over the next week and assumed it was to do with my illness.
However a month or so later the lump was still there so I booked a GP appointment. GP had a look at it but didn't seem interested, she said she couldn't feel it even though I could feel it when I was pointing it out, which made me feel a little silly. I also told them about my recent illness problems and they just said that some years you're more sick than normal. The GP at the time was busy and I head them say they were a few doctors down due to Covid.
The lump is still there, I checked today and if I slightly push down I can actually hold it between my finger and thumb, it's around 1-2cm wide, it's pretty firm and there's no pain.
I guess I'm writing here to see if anyone has anything similar? And whether I should try and book another doctors appointment.? I'm obviously worried about it and would like a doctor to actually feel it and tell me what it is. But also don't want to be a burden on my already busy GP surgery.
