Like the answers? Consult privately with the doctor of your choice
Swlling on the front of the neck could be :
Thyroid
Thyroglossal cyst
Sternocleidomastoid tumor etc
Looking from the history it seems to be a thyroglossal cyst
1 . You need to check if the swlling moves by protruding your toungue out of your mouth
2. Is there any discharge comming out of it along with the swelling present
In which case it is a thyroglossal cyst . Which is not of much problem unelss it causes incovenience due to swelling from repeated infections in that case u can get it removed through a minor surgery.
Next Steps
if you have other problems like
difficulty swallowing
pain on swallowing
hoarseness of voice
difficulty in breathing
it could be due to other conditions and consult a surgeon asap !!!
