Neck Ultrasound Scan
If you’ve noticed a lump or swelling in your neck, an ultrasound is often the best first step to see what’s going on.
It’s quick, safe, and can help work out if the lump is due to a swollen lymph node, cyst, gland problem, or something more serious. Most neck lumps are harmless, but it’s important to check.

FAQs
Should I get an ultrasound for lumps and bumps in my neck?
If you’ve found a lump in your neck, this scan helps identify what it is and what may be causing it. It gives your doctor valuable information about the size, location, and nature of the lump.
What symptoms are related to neck lumps?
• A visible or felt lump in the neck
• Swelling under the jaw, around the ear, or in the side of the neck
• Pain or tenderness in the area
• Redness or warmth over the lump
• Changes in voice or swallowing
• Ongoing sore throat
• Fever, weight loss, or night sweats
When should I see a doctor?
Get a lump checked if it lasts more than a couple of weeks, gets bigger, or is painful. Also seek advice if the lump comes with other symptoms like weight loss, fever, or changes in your voice or swallowing.
Are there any risks of a neck ultrasound?
There are no known risks. It’s a non-invasive scan that uses sound waves, not radiation. You can go back to your day straight after.
