Depends a lot: on factors such as enlargement, consistency, associated diseases, and general medical condition. If it is an isolated finding and associated with viral infection such as zoster, it should resolve with time. If it is enlarging and feels hard, your doctor will probably recommend biopsy. In general, enlarged lymph nodes are most likely caused by infection or inflammation, but lymphoma is possible.
