A member asked:
I have a small swollen lymph node tht hasn't change in size or isn't hard and moveable. can this be lymphoma? can a cold cause this? i have a stuffy nose too

Virus: Based on your description and the associated stuffy nose, the swollen lymph node is most likely due to an upper respiratory virus/common cold. It should slowly get smaller after the infection is over. Get well soon!

See MD: You need to be examined carefully and have node measured and have the same doctor see you again in a couple weeks. Your MD may want to try a course of antibiotics. Your cold may be associated with the node. Try saline (salt water) spray and visit with your doctor.
