A member asked:

My swollen lymph node in my neck is not painful. does that mean a more serious problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How big?: A cancerous lymph node is obviously abnormal. Almost all other nodes are your friends. If you are advised to leave it alone, do so. There is no explaining why different people get big nodes in different places.
