What Causes Bump On The Left Side Of Neck Above Collarbone?
Hi! I suddenly developed a puffy big bump on the left side of my neck right above my collar bone yesterday. Looked it up...maybe thyroiditis...took ibupro and it went down some last night and most of today but it is puffing up again. No pain. No other symptoms. My father and 2 older symptoms have thyroid issues. How serious is this? can I wait until next week to see a dr. or do I need to go in right away?

Hello,
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and ultrasound of neck. Ultrasound of neck will determine the origin of the swelling.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
