Question
The newborn only discovered a prominent bulge on the right side of the clavicle ten days after birth, and there are no other issues. What could be the cause of this? Is it necessary to seek immediate medical attention? Will it affect the future?
Answer
As described, the baby noticed a bulge on the right clavicle only ten days after birth. It is unclear whether the bulge is soft or hard at this point. It is recommended to consult a pediatric orthopedic surgeon for an examination. In the meantime, try to avoid touching the area, as sometimes more touching might make the bulge more pronounced. These suggestions are for the specific case of “a newborn with a prominent bulge on the right side of the clavicle discovered ten days after birth, with no other issues.” I hope this helps, and wish you health.
