What Causes A Bump On Throat Visible Only On Tilting Head Backwards?

My 4 year old daughter has a small bump on her throat that I just noticed. It is only visible when she tilts her head back and not noticed at all when her head is in a normal position. I have looked back at pictures as far back as 3 months ago and noticed it now.

Hi
It can be a simple cyst and needs to intervention until it causes any discomfort. Keep a watch on the size whether its increasing or any pain or discomfort in swallowing.
take care.
