A member asked:
What happens if you constantly squeeze a lymph node?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing really : Constantly squeezing lymph nodes can potentially cause inflammation if pressed too hard and pain is felt. Try not to do it, and get your primary doctor to check then at your next visit. If they are enlarged, already hurting, they need to be checked sooner. Feel better.
