Hi, My glands under my neck have been swollen for so long almost 2 years now they have not caused me any issues. I have recently found 4 other tiny lumps on the sides of my neck. But the one that I am writing about is a larger one maybe a pea and a bit on the top left of my neck. (on the left of my thyroid) I found it maybe 1 week ago I can pick I up in my skin and move it it does not hurt unless I screw around with it for 20 mins. Of this helps I have had a cough for 3 weeks I think due to the really bad hay fever I get at this time of year (cough is normally in the morning when I wake up. My real question is , could this be thyroid ca cancer? Thanks for reading this btw I'm a male 16. Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

I had something that sounds very similar to this some 8 years ago.the doctor did send me for a biopsy but it turned out to be a swollen lymph gland that had gone up to fight infection and never went down again.its still there now ,pea sized hard and moveable under the skin.Try not to worry

Hi I have a lump much bigger on my thyroid, I went to the doctors and turns out it's only a cyst and I can get it removed if it annoys me :) try not to worry. Thyroid lumps are very common and very rarely are cancerous xx
