A member asked:
The lymph node on the right side of my throat has been swollen for years and won't go down! why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymph node: If the lymph node is 1 cm or smaller it is nothing to worry about. Multiple nodes with night sweats are more worrisome. If the node feels like a pea under the skin ; do nothing. If the node is softer and not rock hard; do not worry. I hope this helps. Good luck and feel better ! Have a great weekend.
