What Does An Enlarged Right Lymph Node Above The Right Clavicle Indicate?
I have a enlarged right lymph node just above my right clavicle. It was the size of a pea several weeks ago and has now doubled in size. I did have a kidney stone several weeks ago, and was put on Bactrim for atb. I also just found out im 6 weeks pregnant. Im a 41 year old female, no health issues to date. Everything on internet that I ve read talks about high chances of cancer? is this true? could anything else be causing this? I have a Dr. apt scheduled for next week...but would like to hear from you. thanks

hi..dont jump direct into cancer area..
mostly such lymphnodes are inflammatory and subside in few weeks after antibiotics and nsaid drugs..
still you have concern go for CBC and FNAC examination ...if FNAC is quite suspeciois then go for BIOPSY examination..it will confirm diagnosis and also help in better treatment.
thank you
