Accepted Answer

Get checked : Swelling &amp; tenderness inymoh nodes is significant. Do get checked as soon as you can. Hope that helps.

Question 2

what do hard, swollen, extremely painful/tender lymph nodes in the neck mean?

Accepted Answer

Diff possibilities: Tender is usually a good sign & if you have a few relatively small tender lymph nodes & you struggle with allergies or have a cold,  those could cause it. However if 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 & if you find some, that would be another reason to get checked out.

Question 3

what can i do about swollen, hard, tender lymph nodes in my neck that do not move?

Accepted Answer

How long?: How long have you have those nodes? If they are recent and occured with an infection, they will resolve on their own, if they have been there for a while, they need to be checked by your doctor.

Question 4

tender lymph nodes in neck related to head pain?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely...: Unless there is acute infection or inflammation involving the meninges.

Question 5

tender lymph nodes in groin and armpit on the right side?

Accepted Answer

Enlarged and: Tender lymph nodes usually means infection somwhere.  But it can be inflammatory conditions or lymph cell malignancy, such as lymphoma or hodgkin's disease.  Best to have your doctor check them out.

Question 6

why do i have tender swollen lymph nodes in my neck since yesterday?

Accepted Answer

Infection?: You probably have some form of upper respiratory tract infection, likely viral.  Lymph nodes help fight this and enlarge and are tender in the process.  Hope you are better soon.

Question 7

tender lymph nodes in neck with headache and jaw pain, etc?

Accepted Answer

Painful nodes: Point toward infectious etiology, and jaw pain may indicate dental cause, particularly closed off abcess. Dentist & x-ray would be my first stop. The list is longer for painless nodes.

Question 8

drainage, sore throat and tender lymph nodes in neck.3rd day of 250mg z-pak. feel better overall, but throat still very sore and nodes tender.

Accepted Answer

Takes time....: Takes time to get rid of residual inflammation. A mouth spray (chorseptic) and NSAID can help your throat pain. "we are  still not in the time of getting better yesterday!".

Question 9

35 y/o male, can you have lymphoma if you have tenderness in the areas of lymph nodes, like neck, armpits and groin, but no swelling no night sweats, no weight loss and feel good otherwise, been having this feeling on and off for a couple of years?

Accepted Answer

: What you described does not support a diagnosis of lymphoma.
It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests.

Question 10

sore throat and sinus drainage with tender lymph nodes in neck.  on 3rd day of z-pak, feel better overall, but not in throat or neck. see a dr?

Accepted Answer

Patience: If you feel you are getting better i would give it some more time. Your lymph nodes can stay swollen for months after an illness. If they are getting larger, or more numerous, that is a different story and see your doc asap.
