What Causes Lump On The Left Side Of The Neck?

my 9year old daughter has a lump on the left side of her neck almost in the curve of it and she says that is is painful to the touch. Is this an inflammed lymph node? and if so, should I take her to her pediatrician tomorrow? Also, when I rub her shoulders as in giving her a massage she says its painful. This cannot be normal for a child her age, right?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for your query to HCM.
-In My opinion , you should consult paediatrician soon.
My diagnosis on facts given -
is ?TB lymph adenitis? Could be Lymphoma ,which needs to be ruled out.
-I would advise FNAC biopsy ONLY after a trial of antibiotics to rule out infective? Lower pharyngitis cause for it.
-Hope this would help you to plan treatment with your paediatric doctor n your ER Surgeon.
wishing early recovery, Have a good day n Good By.
