Lymph nodes: Swelling of lymph nodes is common with any infection. If they stay swollen then you should be evaluated and have some routine blood work done.

I had Mono at 19. Since then I've had a string of swollen, hard lymph nodes under my right arm. Twice in my life the largest one (.5cm) would swell, get a little red and tender for a few weeks, then calm again. I'm 58 now. Should I be concerned?
