My 15 year old son has an enlarged right clavicle and swelling under it. It does not hurt, nor is it red or hot. It has not been injured. It's just noticably bigger than the left side. Dr. doesn't know. Blood test good: bun/creat ratio 22.5 (a little high)...lymphs 21.6 (a little low)...ammonia 16 (a little low). He also had an ultrasound that showed nothing. The only other symptom he has is very bad breath that smells like an infection. Could they be related? He took antibiotics for a week and it went away, but now, a week after the meds ended, his bad breath has come back. Please let me know what you think?
I hope your son is ok, im no doctor but i cant think the hallitosis (bad breath) is not related to the clavicle problem, sometimes teenagers have a large amount of bacterial prescence in the gut or so the dr stated when my 15 yr old went to the dr with this problem (trust me it was horrible) however after medication the problem eased. he now trains as a boxer an eats a healthier diet...his problem of bad breath is now gone I have a bony lump on my right side sternoclavicular joint coupled with slight tingling down my right side of the neck, not painful as such but a little uncomfortable and most of all quite scary with such varied information on the internet. i am just waiting on the results of an xray (really worried!!)
My right clavicle is higher than the left one. What is the solution for this problem? What could cause it?
