Dear Ms


The most common cause for swelling in front of neck above collar bone is Lymph node. Many times the lymph nodes enlarge due to non specific inflammation. The react reason and cause can only be attributed by thorough clinical examination from physician.

I would suggest you to consult your physician on routine appointment for clinical examination and assessment.
