Hypochondriac. can checking/poking/prodding glands/nodes too often make them feel sore/swollen? if so, best way to reduce swelling/soreness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: That can happen. To reduce that problem, one must stop "checking/poking/prodding glands/nodes too often". One's primary care doctor or psychiatrist can offer helpful medication, if needed.
