<s>[INST] My daughter is 4 months old and she has a branchial cyst on her neck. It doesn t bother her and it s not infected, but it seeps clear liquid off and on. It s very small and there s no lump, but I m wondering if it would be best to get it removed now or later for her sake? [/INST] Hello, It can be an infected bronchial cyst or some other entity known as bronchial fistula. Surgical removal of the lesion will be the best option. Consult a pediatric surgeon, and he will direct you accordingly. You can wait till the infection settles and antibiotics may be required for the time being. Usually we can wait up to fourteen years of age, and in some cases the lesion will resolve by it own. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care  </s>
