Have your dr evaluat: Swollen lymph nodes are common and usually related to active or past local inflammations. If there has been no change over a long period of time then it is post-inflammatory. But to be sure, see your dr to confirm.

Make an appointment: There are many possible causes of your chronically swollen lymph node . An astute healthcare provider will arrive at the diagnosis by taking a careful history and performing a physical exam. Ultimately, a biopsy of the node may be needed to make a diagnosis. I recommend that you make an appointment without delay.
