What Causes Swelling Between My Collar Bone And Neck?

I have had a soft swelling between my collar bone and neck on the left side for a few months. It can swell and then reduce in size. I have no pain from it.Im 52 and have been seeing a specialist at hospital because I am dizzy and often unsteady. No reason has been found although 2 years ago I had a really bad episode of laberinthitis

Brief answer
lymph node enlargement due to infection or lymphoma

Detailed answer
hi
i appreciate your concern
a unilateral neck swelling following laberinthitis may be due to lymphadenopathy
it could be due to infection most probably or a lymphoma
in my opinion you must visit your doctor for battery of tests like FNAC of swelling and complete blood count test
you need to worry it will be alright with a course of antibiotic

Hope i have answered you query
thanks for using health care magic
good luck
take care
