Need Medication For Lump On The Collarbone
Im overseas in France on vacationing and just noticed a lump on my daughters (7) front part of her next an inch or two above her collarbone. she is on an inhaler for bronchitis but no medicine other than that. Wat is it? Should she stop using her inhaler?

Hello
Lump on the collar bone is generally due to enlarged lymph nodes.
This is the site of lymph drainage.Lymph nodes in this region may be enlarged due to ear,throat infection etc.
It is not related to inhaler,so she shouldn't stop inhaler.
Generally these conditions only require conservative treatment.
Underlying cause should be treated.She also need clinical examination.
Get well soon.
