A member asked:

Had mononucleosis 5 years ago and still have swollen lymph nodes what is wrong with me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scarring: Lymph nodes that are inflamed for long periods of time can remain permanently enlarged or scarred. As long as they are not continuing to get larger it is okay.
