A member asked:

Is 11mm enlarged chest lymph nodes dangerous, what is the cause of it ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs follow up: It may or not be a reason for concern, but needs follow up by your doctor. Lymph nodes enlarge to help us fight off infection. A persistent lymph node larger than one cm probably needs a biopsy or at least close follow up.
