lump in DS' neck ...
i found a lump in DS' neck yesterday. Its about halfway between his ear and the back of his neck - feels like a cyst, a hard lump not a lymph node or swollen gland.  It doesnt seem to bother him but im worried. We have a doctors appointment for Thursday. I  its nothing and he wont need it removed

Re: lump in DS' neck ...
I'm hoping its nothing. DH has one of these, and we were told its common and not harmful. I hope the same for your DS.

Re: lump in DS' neck ...
my DS is same age as yours, he had 2 lumps like that. I took him to the doctor she said it was nothing to worry about that many babies get those little "lymph nodes". they are very small, kind of hard, and you can push them around a little bit

Re: lump in DS' neck ...
Hi Karin! I know first hand how scary that is. I found the same thing on Ryan when he was about Jack's age, maybe younger. It was nothing to worry about according to our Pediatrician. I think he said possibly a calcium deposit. He said if it can be kind of moved around (not like you can move it from one spot to another, but just you can kind of wiggle it around) it's nothing to worry about. Ryan still has it and he is 4, sometimes it seems bigger/smaller than other times, but it still worries me. I trust my Dr, he has never steered me wrong, but still you see a lump and you worry. If I can help at all please fell free to FM me.

that sounds exactly like that Jack has Im not really worrying, I am confident it will be nothing but just the thought that maybe, it could be something is awful. We will see in 2 days but i am 100% optomistic that it is just what you and some PP said  so scary still

Aw I am sure everything is going to be just fine! My best friend's son had this as well and it turned out to be nothing to worry about.

Re: lump in DS' neck ...
My sister had something like this when she was younger and the doctor said it was nothing to worry about. It eventually went away.

Jack is having a rough week Sounds like it isn't too much cause for concern. Hope all turns out well.

Re: lump in DS' neck ...
Travis has the same thing. I was so nervous. The pediatrician said its a lymph node and not to worry unless it gets bigger or changes color. So now I am obsessed with checking it.
