Hello. I have a hard lump above my left collar bone. It is the size of a dried apricot and I first noticed it about 3 weeks ago. Also, the entire left side of my neck became swollen and has stayed swollen for the past 3 days. I am 30, female, 130 lbs, healthy except allergies and asthma. What type of doctor do I need to see? Thank you.
welcome to Health care magic. 1.It could be an lymph node / thyroid mass / lipomas. 2.In this case i would examine first and ask for an ultrasound neck get done - to find out the origin of the lesion / its extensions / lump contents. 3.Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in case of underlying infection / inflammation / systemic diseases / malignancies. 4.Recommend you to get an appointment to see your doctor and let examined and do the needful action. 5.Get an ultrasound - its non invasive, instant report, cheap. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
