What Causes Swelling On Both Sides Of Neck?

Hi..I have swelling on both sides of my neck above the collarbone. Saw m.d. yesterday and he is setting up ultrasound but did not feel nodes. He said it felt more like soft tissue. Appears to me this a.m. to have gone down some. Everything i have read online points to cancer. Should i be worried? I am 37y.o.female with no chronic medical problems.

Hi.. Thanks for using Health care magic. If there is visible swelling in your neck and is supposed to be a soft tissue swelling I suggest you to do FNAC ( Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) or an incisional biopsy of the swelling as soon as possible to know the origin of the swelling and then you can proceed further confidently.Hope it's only a benign swelling. Take care. Thank you.
