Hello,
The lump in the collarbone can be related to a reactive lymph node due to an infection. Based on the information that you provided in the query, it can be a throat infection.
I suggest seeing an ENT specialist for a physical examination. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation of the lymph node.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
