A member asked:
I stopped smoking a couple months ago but my lymph nodes are still swollen. i've had a ct scan, nothing was found. how can i reduce the swelling?

Nodes swollen: Smoking not likely cause of swollen nodes. You did not say where the nodes were. neck? arm pit, groin or where. Swelling will be reduced when you know the cause and the cause is treated.
