A member asked:

I have many swollen neck lymph nodes. should i do something or wait a wk or 2?

See your PCP: Swollen lymph nodes in the neck could mean a few different things, but most often it means your body is fighting an infection. See your primary care physician to get a true diagnosis and next steps for possible treatment. Feel better!
