What Does Swelling In The Lower Neck And Above The Collar Bone Indicate?
I have noticed swelling on lower neck and above collar bone on both left and right side. Right is slightly more than left. I had throat infection and taken anti-biotic as suggested by doctor. This happen two times with the gap of 5 days. Now I am speaking almost normal with very slight hoarse voice. Pl advice.
