Hi, my male friend has a lump on his neck behind his jaw on the right hand side, he is very worried about it and it very very painful. he has family history of cancer, so he is quite scared. he is 15 years of age and around 50 kilos. need your help to know if it needs to be check out.
Hi there! First, every lump does not mean cancer. Second, a very, very painful lump is unusual in cancer. Do not worry! I would suggest you visit your physician for an ear, nose and throat examination to rule out infection. Also, if need be get a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) test done to know what is causing the gumball the best!
