Question 1

is it a bug bite or a swollen lymph node? symptoms of swollen lymph node near collarbone? 18 years old, female.

Accepted Answer

See doctor: You may be having either of two, bug bite  or swollen lymph node near collarbone . But lymph node may be painful to touch and warm while bug bite may be red ,slightly swollen.Your health provider will be able to decide and treat you as needed

Question 2

swollen lymph node by bug bite.

Accepted Answer

Insufficient info: It would be useful to be able to examine the "bug bite" site as well as the "lymph node". It would be prudent to see your doctor to have it evaluated.

Question 3

how long does a groin lymph node stay swollen after a bug bite?

Accepted Answer

Big enough: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad  like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.  They shrink when all is well.

Question 4

several bug bite on back just behind shoulder. large swollen lymph node on top of collar bone. bites look to be better though.  cause?

Accepted Answer

Not always bugs!: Several causes for "bug bites." detailed history (how, when, who else) and exam (what the lesion looks like, and what the rest of you looks like) is often needed to get to the correct answer. The most important thing to keep in mind, however, is that many if not most unknown "bug bites" turn out not to be bug bites. Bugs are often blamed incorrectly. Finding the bug on body or home is best clue!

Question 5

what would cause lymph node along pelvis to enlarge? moves when touched, not super tender. had flu last week and then period but now at the end and just noticed yesterday. im very thin so can see the little bump in mirror. have bug bite nearby?

Accepted Answer

: An infection in the pelvic area or bug bite might cause small lymph node to occur and be event.  If it is freely moveable probably nothing to worry about.  If it persists next time you see your PCP have him/her evaluate it on physical exam.

Question 6

5 yr old has a raised lymph node on upper shoulder  just under the back of his neck. has a bug bite about 1 inch under node .had a cold last week. could bite = pea size node.no fever just itchy bite?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The lymph node enlargement and bug bite are most likely related. The lymph node will likely regress soon as the inflammation subsides. I would not worry too much unless other symptoms occur or the regression is delayed.

Question 7

hotel=bed bug bites on neck/back area 1 week ago. today swollen lymph node in neck. could this be the reason?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is inflammation that lymph nodes help to control, and they may well enlarge in the process.

Question 8

found painful to touch (not otherwise) lymph node in my groin. what could cause this? getting a bit worried..

Accepted Answer

Dont worry: There is an infection in the skin in the area drained by that lymph node. It is the immune system doing its duty. Good. What could it be? Did you notice any painful blisters on your genitals? If not Herpes is unlikely. Other STDs  are also unlikely. It is not uncommon for a little skin infection, folliculitis, non STD to cause this sort of painful lymhadenopathy. If it doesnt get better see GP

Question 9

Accepted Answer

? lymph node at elbow: Not likely a lymph node there. A picture is worth a etc.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Low risk: Small, non fixed, non- tender, not changing.
Concerns would be node, or thyroid, or cyst.
