[|Human|] i have a very small knot under my chin( a lump) and also a swollen lymph node on my right side of my neck, they have been there a while and i hardly notice them because they are pain free. i recently visited my doctor and he said i should get them ultrasound, i have an appointment for Thursday, and honestly im scared to death after seeing all the cancer caused by these signs.. Should i be this concerned? im 19 and weight about 97 lbs.
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The lump under the chin could be sailo-adenitis (salivary gland in obstruction), submandibular lesion and finally also a lymph nodal enlargement. And a lymph node on the right side of the neck.2. Good that planned for an ultrasound - will exactly what needed in this case - ultrasound will help in assessing the nature of the lesion and its sours and extensions. 3. In case of mass lesion an FNAC - fine needle aspirin cytology will help in assessing the nature of the cells involved 4. Treatment depends on the findings of the ultrasound and histology.5. Not to worry much in you are, the lymph nodal enlargement is seen in any infection / inflammation it can be localized or systemic so treat any cause which you are aware of. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query.Anything to ask do not hesitate. Thank you.
