Question 2

swollen gland (i think) in neck, i'm not sick, other symptoms as well. how to reduce swelling?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring Centers: The lymphatic system absorbs and carries things too big to go into the arteries and veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. The lymph nodes "taste" the lymph to see if anything bad is there like bacteria, viruses, cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system by enlarging in response. Prolonged enlargement should be biopsied. They shrink if no problem.

Question 3

are swollen thyroid an hiv symptom?

Accepted Answer

No: That's not a typical symptom of hiv.

Question 4

how long can ur neck lympnoses be swollen before you start having symptoms of lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Statistically unlikely that lymphoma is the issue. Need the clinical context, the size of the nodes, etc. Follow-up with the ordering docs recommendations, and try not to worry.

Question 5

every gland in my neck is swollen. when will i get symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Get an eval: If you have a few relatively small tender lymph nodes you might have mild subclinical allergies or have a cold coming on. However if every lymph node is swollen, or you have a very lg or hard, immobile node(s) it's best to get that checked out. You might also want to check for swollen lymph nodes elsewhere in the body. I'd suggest you get yourself checked out.

Question 6

why wont my swollen neck lymph nodes go down? been 1cm long oval mobile for 2 months now. no symptoms

Accepted Answer

Large Lymph Mode: Viral infections and minor skin infections and irritations can cause lymph nodes to double in size quickly over 2 or 3 days. They return slowly to normal size over the next 2 to 4 weeks. However, they won't disappear completely. Normal size is up to 3cm;  larger sides nodes can take months to return to normal size.

Question 7

swollen 1cm node in neck for 2 months. very moveable and soft. no symptoms. malignancy likely? would it not have grown or developed symptoms by now?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Doesn't fit, may stay for some more time, if it grows bigger, becomes fixed/hard, more glands grow, see your doctor, otherwise, go on with your life

Question 8

2 weeks ago i had slightly swollen nodes on my neck with no other symptoms. this worried me, as i'm a hypochondriac. the next week, i was 100%. now my neck is stiff again and the nodes are back. cold?

Accepted Answer

Not due to cold: Swollen nodes in the neck are likely due to an underlying infectious cause like a virus, they can come and go. There are lots of other less common reasons and i think that you should see your primary care doc to make sure it's nothing important. Your doctor would probably get some blood tests of he/she is concerned. Hope you feel better soon !
