A soft, mobile neck lump present for months is often an enlarged lymph node or benign cyst, but it should not be diagnosed by feel alone. Please have it examined; an ultrasound of the neck is appropriate if it persists or is enlarging. Seek prompt review for a hard or fixed growth, size increase, fever, night sweats, weight loss or difficulty swallowing. I can examine you through Practo or at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Mirajâplease book a consultation.

A small, soft, mobile neck lump may represent a reactive cervical lymph node, lipoma or another benign lesion. However, since it has persisted for several months, I recommend an in-person examination rather than continued observation alone.
Next steps:
1. Assess the exact location, size, consistency, tenderness and mobility of the lump, along with the oral cavity, throat, scalp and thyroid.
2. Consider an ultrasound of the neck to characterise the lump and determine whether it is nodal or a soft-tissue lesion.
3. If the lump is persistent, enlarging or clinically suspicious, arrange ENT evaluation and appropriate tissue sampling, usually ultrasound-guided FNA or core biopsy as indicated.
Seek prompt assessment if it is growing, hard or fixed, or if there is unexplained weight loss, night sweats, persistent fever, hoarseness or difficulty swallowing. Breathing or swallowing difficulty requires urgent care.
Please do not repeatedly squeeze or massage the lump.

A soft, movable lump on the side of your neck is most often a lymph node or a small fatty lump, and these are usually harmless. Because yours has been there for a few months, you should still have it examined. A general physician can feel it and may order a neck ultrasound if needed. Get seen sooner if it grows, turns hard or fixed, or you have fever, night sweats or weight loss.
