4-6 weeks: Enlarged lymph nodes can sometimes take 4-6 weeks to completely regress. After your symptoms are gone, it really should not get bigger. If it does, or if new ones appear, or if new symptoms (fever, fatigue, bruising, new cough, for example), you should see a health care provider.

Question 2

what to do if i have one swollen lymph node in my neck. i believe it is cpuld be the cause for this one lymph node doing this?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring Centers: 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.

Maybe another abcess: If you have an abcess on one side you may have one you're not aware of on the other...or other source of infection on that side. Get it checked out

Question 7

have one swollen lymph node in groin, right side. 2cm. been fighting cellulitis in right leg for over a month. is this normal or should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Normal reaction: The lymph nodes in the groin, called inguinal lymph nodes, are stimulated and enlarge in response to infections or trauma in the legs and feet.  Since you have had an active infection in this area for quite some time, it should not be considered unusual.  Occassionally these nodes themselves become infected and require additional treatment.

Question 8

i thought i had one swollen lymph node, but i felt another one. they are right next to each other. i had pink eye and a long sickness. i am just wondering if it's normal to have them right next to each other.

Accepted Answer

Not unusual: These lymph nodes are linked by a thin vessel system similar to arteries or veins. Two in the same region is not unusual. When one is active at cleaning up after an infection another nearby may also be triggered to act at the same time.

Question 9

doctor, how much lymph nodes swell and where are their location in acute retroviral syndrome? ?is one swollen lymph node point to hiv after safe sex?

Accepted Answer

HIV unlikely: To have HIV transmission there must be fluid transfer from one person to the next.  If you had safe sex HIV would be very unlikely.  Swollen lymph nodes can be seen in a large number of viral illnesses as well as with bacterial infections.  See you doctor.
