[|Human|] My daughter is 9 and has been complaining about the back of her neck hurting. When I looked and felt behind her neck it appeared that the top of her spine was bulging out more than normal. Just wondering how big that knot should be and if this is what is probably causing her the discomfort? Should I get this check out or could this be growing pain or something like thst?
[|AI|]  Thanks for the question.9 yrs old girls with swelling behind neck, probable cause-Lipoma (subcutaneous fat growth)BursitisAbcess- tubercular/infective may be spinal original more If it is not hurting her wait and watch and look for progression of swelling, pain,appearance. If it is progressive you have to consult local orthopaedician. After the examination of swelling he can advise you further treatment.
