Lymph nodes: Lymph nodes are specialized structures in the body that filter lymph fluid of harmful pathogens, cancer cells, and cellular waste. These filter lymph from different parts of the body and can become enlarged depending on what is going on in that part of the body. If it does not resolve,get it checked by a physician
