What doctor to see for second opinion for lumps in the neck for 5 yr old?

My son has had a lump on the side of his neck for over a year. I know it could be nothing, but his pediatrician said only to worry to if it gets bigger which it has.

He has two actually right beside each other.

could I just see another doctor for peace of mind.

And what doctor could I take him too? ENT?

Thanks!

    It could be just really bad swollen glands, i had bad swollen glands on my neck which did get bigger and i had it for awhile and finally went to the docs turned out i had glandular fever and it was a bad case which later turned into something sort of permanent, so i would see another doctor asap

    Get to another doctor ASAP! Who knows what it could be, but lumps are never a good sign! I had one on my leg, and it turned out to be a benign tumor.
