Lymphadenopathy: There are many causes to swollen lymph nodes but they do not normally persist. If these have, it would be very important to see your physician to have him examined and discuss potential causes. If they are found to be persistently enlarged, it may be necessary to have them biopsied to be sure nothing more concerning is occurring.
