What Causes A Small Lump On The Left Side Of The Neck In A Child?

My nine year old son has a small lump on the left side of his neck just above his clavicle. It feels like it is fixed to maybe a tendon and is not round. Feels elongated. His Dr. did a chest x-ray which came back normal. It has been there since December. It might be a little bigger but not a huge amount. I still feel worried about it. Should I be?

Hi
I would recommend you to go for fine needle aspiration cytology test of the lump to find out what it is exactly so that treatment could be started accordingly.
