A member asked:

37 female three small nodes on lower left side of neck non tender,mobile worrisome? what test shud be done?wen to see doc

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neck nodes: A CBC blood test is important and an exam by a doctor in person. Many times, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck can be responding to an infection in the throat, sinus or ear. If the nodes are persistently enlarged, then one should be excised by an ENT surgeon and sent for pathology. A neck CT scan can also help.
