A member asked:

How long can small less thn1cmmoveable lymphnode stay around after flu shot? near scalene 2 months. no change in size or consistency. doc says ok?21yo

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Location: It is important to know the location of the swelling and if it is truly a lymph node or not. It is always helpful to have more history along with exam. If there is no change in characters then may be you could wait a little longer. For reassurance you can seek second opinion from another physician.
