How should a lump in the neck be treated?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See a Doctor: It really depends on what the lump is. There are many things it could be based on the age of the patient, the location in the neck, the duration of the mass, the mobility, the associated symptoms and other factors. Please see your primary doctor to start with.
