Dear, this mass needs to be investigated further. The best option would be to go for a FNAC, that will clinch the diagnosis for us and further treatment can only be decided after that. Apart from the swelling, I would like to know if she has any difficulty in swallowing or speaking.
Next Steps
Get the FNAC done.
