How long do neck nodes stay enlarged? small movable jelly balls on side neck and near clavicle. all drs i've seen give me diff answers(ent, gp)no illne

nodes: Nodes can be enlarged due to a variety of different conditions. The most common being a reaction to infection. Most of these resolve on there own in a short time. If they persist after antibiotics i would suggest a fine needle aspiration (fna) to gather cells that can be examined by a pathologist. Better to be safe than sorry.
