Hi I have been feeling unwell for a few weeks now with a sore throat I have seen my GP and was referred to ent specialist the scan did not show any thing. Endoscopy did not show any thing either. My sore throat is killing me . Consultant said it could be acid reflux has given me tablets for it. However I have this morning noticed that my bone on the right hand side of my collar bone has grown. I am really concerned and worried. Could it be cancer ?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion no need to worry much. You are not having cancer as your endoscopy and scan is normal. So forget about malignancy. In my opinion you are having inflammatory enlargement of right cervical lymph node due to sore throat. Most common cause of sore throat is infection. So may BD this infection gives you enlarged nodes. Better to start antibiotics. If not improve in 5 days than get done clinical examination of swelling.
