What Is The Small Growth On The Side Of My Neck Above Collarbone?

thank you. I noticed a small olive size growth on right side of my neck just above my collar bone, it comes and goes and I see my pulse beat. It is not sore. I am 67 yrs old. I take low blood pressure pills and I have bad decayed teeth. I do not know it could be the results of the teeth? It is not sore at all.

HI.The decayed tooth can not have a distant lymph node like this..
This may of course be a lymph node but at the same time other conditions like aneurysm has to be ruled out..
Best way is to for an examination of ultrasonography along with color doppler study to confirm what it is and to go ahead with the Specialist's opinion.
I find this answer helpful
