My son is 10 a multi sport athlete and very fit. We just noticed a pea size hard bump on the right side of his neck on or near the large muscle that shows when you turn your head. It only shows when he turns his head fully to the left, but you can feel it when he is looking straight ahead by pressing a little. It is hard and seems to move up and down a little when rubbed. It does not hurt and he is otherwise very healthy. How concerned should i be.
