What Do Multiple Nodes At The Base Of Neck Above The Collar Bone Suggest?

Hi, I noticed a large lymph node at the base of my neck right in front of my trapezius muscle above my collar bone, left side. I noticed it a month of ago but since I ve not been sick I haven t really worried about it but I do check it ever so often and now there s two more smaller nodes beside it. I m not sick and haven t been in a long time. I m a 36 year old female...any suggestions?

thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com.....

see lymph nodes generally enlarge in acute infective conditions and can also be present in some chronic diseases too...do you have mild fever or cough?...what size and consistency are the lymph nodes?...any sore or discharge?...or change in size?

get back to me with the answers so that i can tell further regarding diagnosis and treatment...
also it would be better if you visit a GENERAL PHYSICIAN and get thoroughly checked....it is difficult to definitely say something without examining you or running a few tests...

hope this was helpful...
regards
