Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Enlarged lymphnodes above the clavicle need to be evaluated completely in the light of a hard nodule right side of your neck and elevated lab values. There are many possibilities including infections and cancer. As it is very important to get the right diagnosis, please consult a surgeon and get a biopsy done from the lymphnodes to confirm your diagnosis. Treatment can only be started after getting a histopathological diagnosis.
