[|AI|]  Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Cause for the lump in your head and throat-In my opinion both these lumps are differrent-One on the head above right ear-is diagnosed by your doctor as but bite-and is being treated accordingly. The bite seems to be infected with secondary infection.Hence, I suggest it to consult ER Surgeon, who would treat it accordingly. Other lump -on the throat-is a separate lump and is not causing the headache you have. Headache you have is due to the infected bug bite and needs to be treated by antibiotics with your ER Surgeon. For Final Diagnosis and treatment needs clinical data from a Doctor.It's not thyroid as you think -otherwise Your doctors would have asked you to do USG and other tests to rule it out. And Hence for further treatment I would advise you to Consult ER Surgeon, who would treat it accordingly. This advice is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.Hence, I would advise you to check with ER Surgeon. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you. Hope this would relieve your problem. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.
