I have an enlarged cervical lymph node that measures 1.75x2.0 in. it is also hard and somewhat painful should i get it checked out or wait. ?

Lymph Node Swelling: Greetings. An enlarged lymph node should be evaluated and treated. In my practice, I would treat you with an antibiotic. After 14 days, the node should have shrunk in size. If it was still enlarging, then an image guided biopsy would be ordered. The sooner you are evaluated, the sooner you are treated. Good Luck.
