What To Do For Small Lump Above Suprasternal Notch And Below Thyroid Gland That Didn't Reduce With Ciprofloxacin?

I have a small pea shape lump above the suprasternal notch yet is below the thyroid gland. It seems to be attached on the inside of my outer skin and connected to possible to a vein. When pressed below or on for a little while it decreases in size. I went to the doctor, he proceeded to put me on Ciprofloxacin for two weeks it has now been a little over four weeks and still hasn't disappeared. I proceeded to take natural herbs that boost the immune system and it now is the size of a BB when small and the size of a pea when it increases in size. In addition to the lump I have been experiencing a hoarse voice sometimes and a dry mouth and sometimes feel like something is stuck in my throat. Which is sometimes relieved when pressing on or below the lump. What could this possibly be? I would appreciate any information you could provide.
