Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I was your doctor, I would advise you for a thyroid function test, and a possible ultrasound of the lump in the neck along with a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of the lump to arrive at a histological diagnosis supported by a clinical examination. Further management would depend on the clinical findings and lab investigations along with FNAC. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
