A member asked:
I've had swollen lymph nodes for a week should i see a doctor or wait a little longer and see if they go away on their own?

Below: Swollen lymph nodes are always concerning. If they completely disappear in the next week to ten days, then it is less concerning. If there is any question, any residual swelling, or if you have other symptoms-sweating, fever, fatigue, then you need to be seen. In short, you must feel completely normal and the noses gone or you need to see a DR.
