Lump on Jax's neck

Tonight at soccer, Jax turned his head and my mom noticed a little lump on his neck. Sometimes when he turns his head there is a little vein that kind of sticks out so I thought that was what she was talking about. She told me no and made me look and he has a lump, just bigger than a pea maybe, and it's hard. Could it just be a cyst or something?? Should I keep watch on it and then take him in if it's still there?? I'm such a worrywart. Especially after everything I dealt with when I thought Adrian was lying about his sore leg. Jaxon wasn't complaining when I touched it though.

I would wait & watch it and ask next time you go to the doc, or any doc. It might just go away, or a doc could look at it quickly and know right away if it needed further looking at or if it was nothing. If your gut says it is nothing, then just wait till the next time you are at the doctors and have them look at it.

We never go to the doc unless it's really needed, and then we head to the emergency room. There is a shortage of doctors here so it's impossible to get into to see them. I think I'll just watch it, or phone the health link nurses line. Part of me nags that it could be serious, and the other part says that it's nothing and I'm just worrying too much.
