7 year old female with a quarter size knot on the right side of her neck about 2-4 inches above the clavicle. Complains of pain to touch and with neck movement, no fever, fatigue, or other symptoms presenting at this time. Its important to note that the size has gotten larger in past 24-48 hours. Pediatrician cant see her until next Wednesday, any thoughts as to what it may be?

Its supraclavicular gland inflammation mostly due to throat infection. Give a course of 7 days antibiotics ( syr augmentin, dose could not be mentioned as body weight unavailable). If the nodes recedes in size then ok, otherwise a biopsy has to be taken from it.
