Our body's filters: Lymph nodes act as our "filters" to help fight infection.They swell and become tender when there is an infection nearby.Watch for any signs of inflammation or infection in your gums or teeth,symptoms of a sore throat or viral infection,or any major "pimples" that have become more inflamed.Usually, lymph nodes get better once infection gone but take a while to shrink. If not, get it checked.

I've had feelable pea sized lymph nodes in my groin, neck, jaw and under my chin for 3 years now. They have never changed and I have no symtoms of lyphoma. Would this be something to worry about or is it just due to me being very slim? I'm 17 also?
