What Causes Lump On Collar Bone In Infant?
My 8 month old daughter has a hard lump on the right side of her collar bone...It feels like it is attached or apart of the bone itself. I dont think she had this all along because it is very obvious to the touch that there is a lump. I just noticed it yesterday and am a little worried. What could this be and what should we test for?

Hello
Lump over right collar bone area may be due to enlarged lymph node.It need clinical examination and investigations.
It is a common site of lymph node enlargement.It may be due to neck,scalp or throat infection.
Generally it resolves with treatment of underlying cause.Generally it is not a serious problem.
Ultrasound can be done if needed.
