Hard lump in childs neck

[Ria83]

Hi all, I'm worried sick, yesterday my son (15 yrs) told me he had a lump in his neck which has been there for around 9 months! Its rock hard about the size of a grape, non moveable, called doc yesterday, no appointments, called 111 said wouldnt see him because it's not life threatening and to request a face to face for today with doc. Hes been having tummy aches and feeling sick when eatting, I've mentioned the tummy problems to doc and he said it's nothing to worry about, has anyone had anything similar, I'm worried out of my mind

How is your DR, @Ria83? It wasn't a lymph node was it? Hope all is OK and you got an answer from the GP

The glands are connected to glands behind the tummy so could explain the tummy ache. Has it gone down and then back up at any time? It’s usually the sign of a virus
