What Causes Lump Above Collar Bone Along With Numbness In Throat?

I have a small lump above my collar bone. It s been there for 6 years. When I went to the doctor she said if it doesn t hurt don t worry about it. Well off and on during this time it s moved a little bit and has gotten more sensitive. It s starting to make my left ear feel like it s harder to hear. Also my throat feels like it s going numb. Any ideas of what might be wrong?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have lump over collar bone. It can be enlarged supraclavicular lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma. Or it can be some soft tissue tumor. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
