A member asked:

How to reduce swelling or enlargment of collar bone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

First diagnose the -: Cause of the swelling, so see your pcp. Ibuprofen will help with swelling and discomfort; a sling will help to relieve the pulling effect of the weight off the arm. Importantly get the cause diagnosed, as the treatment would depend on that.
