A member asked:
Doc suspects my son has a thyroglossal cyst. if antibiotics made it shrink and almost disappear, would that indicate that it's not actually a cyst?

No: May require surgery. Keep an eye on it, and have it evaluated by both an ear/nose?Throat specialist and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Find out more before you proceed.
