What causes a lump above the thyroid gland?
Patient: hi I have an oblong lump above my thyroid on the right side, I noticed it when i was rubbing cream on my neck but initially it was tiny but it has gradually got bigger. Could it be a lymph node?  i am feeling fine but have been quite tired over this past 6 weeks.  I have  had this lump now for roughly 3 months.  Do I wait longer or visit doctor?  And what do i say?
