What Causes A Hard Knot On The Collar Bone With Nagging Cough?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I just found a small pea to olive sized knot above my collar bone in line with my left ear...for (not sure how long) some time now, I have had a hard knot below my left ear directly behind my jaw line...I didn t know if they were related?! I have a horrible nagging cough...constantly trying to clear my throat sometimes with phlegm... Please help!
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a possible cervical lymphadenopathy (inflamed lymph node) probably secondary to your recent upper respiratory tract infection. it will resolve as soon as your infection is controlled. a consult with your doctor will be of great help. further diagnostic examination such as neck ultrasound, ct-scan or x-ray and subsequent management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
