A member asked:
Should i be worried that i have a tender lymph node?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Most tender lymph nodes are from reaction due to a local infection, skin injury, or viral illness. These usually resolve over a week or more. Depends on where the lymph node is located as to possible causes. If it persists for several weeks, would need to follow up with your doctor.
