[|Human|] Hi. I live in Australia and am due to return to the UK arriving Saturday 24 May. My Mother is in hospital there with hyponatremia. The hospital has not yet determined the cause of this - she was admitted on Friday evening. Apparently, the consultant can feel a lump around the neck/thyroid and Mum feels that her throat is constricted. Mum is 83. Do I need to bring forward my travel plans? Thank you Janet
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have enlarged thyroid or some enlarged lymph node.  SHR should go for thyroid function test and ultrasound neck.  It will give you exact diagnosis.  If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. Then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
