Lump on neck

6 days ago I felt a pea sized hard non movable lump on my neck it’s near my earlobe Right under my jaw I phoned the doctors and got in the next day I was in there for about 1 minute all she did was feel it was there and say yeah you’ve got a lump on the left side but not the Right side so I’ll have to refer you and pointed at the door to leave so that hasn’t reassured me! I keep poking at it everyday hoping it just goes I got a letter from the hospital to say i have a video appointment on Tuesday but I don’t see what a video appointment can do? 

  • Hi Harrysmum,

    It's good to hear you got this checked out. I'm sure the video appointment will help the doctor to gauge the situation, and if necessary they can suggest you visit the hospital for an appointment.

    I hope the initial appointment goes well and of course do use it as an opportunity to explain everything and ask any questions you may have.

    Wishing you all the best,
