Neck/Jaw Nymph Nodes
End of December, I went to see my family doctor about a lump under my neck area (near back of my jaw). Sent me in for Ultrasound and it turns out to be nothing "sinister" according my doctor, my lymph nodes appear to be swollen. Told me not to worry about it as long as it's not growing or creating pain.
Fast forward to now, this past week starting to notice that area seems a bit bigger than I recall. Starting to become worried as the lump feels like around 1.5-2cm in size (size of half a peanut). It's not hard, but soft and can move around. Honestly in my heart I want to fly back to Asia (can't right now due to Covid) to seek a second opinion with private medical as I have my doubts about our health care system misdiagnosing (which has happened to my mother and both times cancer they told her nothing and her second opinion proved our medical system completely failed on her).
What would you guys do if you were in my situation? Go back to family doctor and request another checkup to check for growth? Ignore it since I already did an Ultrasound 3 months ago? Anyone encounter this health issue/know any of has?
