A member asked:
My primary care doctor found swelling in a lymph node on the left side of my neck. she told me not to worry but she ordered an ultrasound for me. do i need to worry?

No. : Your doctor said not to worry then don’t, trust her/him, try to be as positive as you can, lymph nodes get swollen because inside them our immune cells are fighting back viruses, bacteria and other stuff. The ultrasound is just to make sure theres no abnormal growing cells inside. Remain calm , get your ultrasound and trust your doctor.
