What to do if i have an increase in # of swollen lymph nodes, need help gauging options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor soon: Enlarged lymph nodes always require medical evaluation. Two things cause it: infection or cancer. You have not given me enough information to allow me even to guess which is your problem. But mine would be only a guess. See a doctor soon.

My enlarged lymph node biopsy showed "reactive follicular hyperplaisa, chronic lymphadenitis" which is a great relief. Is it normal that the other nodes remain swollen (without increase) for long time?
