How long does occipital lymp nodes due to scalp infection usually take to go away? occipital lymp nodes on my scalp hasnt fully gone away been a week
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4-6 weeks: It can't take 4-6 weeks for a lymph node to go back to normal size after successful treatment of a bacterial infection, or after viral infection symptoms have otherwise resolved. If it is stil there after that, get checked, please.
