Swollen nodes: Medically, there is a distinction between "lymph nodes"and "nodule." Where are these swellings or growths? What are those measurements? mm? cm? Ins? Did you get any kind of study or biopsy done last year? Swollen nodes or nodules must always be investigated, because they sometimes could mean a serious disease. Please, make an appointment to see your health care practitioner immediately.
