Suggest Remedy For Lump In Neck

Hi, my 6 year old daughter has had a lump in her neck for 3 months and she has now been referred to a peadiatric consultant, her appointment is in 3 weeks. She is generally otherwise well, but is quite often complaining of stomach and head aches and her legs and back aching. She doesn't cry, so I don't think they are too bad, but she does know the importance of not lieing about been ill, so I do believe her. Do you think I should ask for the appointment to be brought forward? ..or am I just getting over anxious thinking they are all related and really should not worry.

Thanks

Pediatrician,  's  Response
The cause underlying the neck lump needs to be evaluated. If the size of the lump is static, it is less concerning. In that case, you need not worry. But if the size is gradually progressive, you should try to prepone the appointment. Treatment would depend on the cause.

The pain in abdomen, head and legs are probably unrelated.
