Swollen area above left collar bone

[Rock2]

I am 19 years old male, just saw a lump 2 inches above the collar bone near throat. There is no external swelling on normal condition but while exercising with weights or shrugging shoulder with weight causes a swelling. But not all the times. While trying to feel the node its felt very small, and very movable. Recently done CBC and report came all normal except high rbc count low mch, mcv and high rdw. Haemoglobin is 12.8 while normal range is 13.4 to 15.4. I am seeing this swollen part for 6 years and its same and not changed over years. I am quite thin rather under weight and recently having allergic problems. Is the condition harmful?

Hey I just saw your questions from 2017 about the lymph node above the collar bone the same test reports the same throat pain could you please tell me if anything happened or it went away on its own

Do the WBCs count get higher if a lymph node is swollen, does all swollen lymph node remains swollen for whole life?

This sounds like a typical lymph node to me.  Did you have the wbc done because of this?  Have you been sick in the past 6 months?

Ya wbc done its count is in normal range . 2 months ago I was having cough and cold then fever and stomach infection

I would guess it is a leftover lymph node from that illness.  They can linger!
