What Causes A Lump In Right Side Of Collar Bone?

I have a lump that is very sore on the right side of my collar bone. My right arm pit is also very sore. I have no fever right now and other than some nausea, night sweats at night I m fine. I had an appointment today to see my PCP but had to cancel. Should I wait a few days and see if this clears up on its own? Thank you!

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some enlarged lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
