Limp node infection: what can i do to make it go away? waiting to see if it goes away alone but it's big and swollen and hurts when touched
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphadenopathy: The likelihood is that it will go away when the primary process it is fighting has diminished. This can be due to viral, bacterial or other infections, non-infectious causes of inflammation such as foreign body or allergic reactions, etc. You may just have to ride it out.
