Dear Ms XXXXXXX
If there is no discontinuity in colar bone (clavicle ) it is unlikely to be due to fracture.
It would be very helpful if you could provide me with the following additional information
1. Is there any redness and discolouration of overlying skin ?
2. Is there any deformity or discontinuity in colar done ?
3. Is the swelling associated with crying while trying to feel the swelling over collar bone.
4. Providing clinical photograph will be helpful
Exact diagnosis will depend on visual and clinical examination
Awaiting your response
Take care
Best regards
