A member asked:
Lymph nodes,does anxiety and stress cause lymph nodes to continue to swell for a long time after an infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Anxiety and stress should not account for persistence of enlarged lymph nodes well after an infection, which caused them to swell, has resolved. However the swollen glands take a period of time to shrivel and sometimes permanent slight enlargement remains after the lymph nodes have burnt out.
