A member asked:
Swollen lympnodes for 4 months 2 larger ones o each side of neck and ct scan showed other small one tried antiobiotics thy didn't work?

Need further eval.: Swollen lymph nodes that are not going away or responding to antibitoics warrant further evaluation. They usally require a biopsy to make sure there is nothing more serious causing them to be swollen. This is usually done by a surgeon or ear nose and throat specialist.
