Inflammation: High ESR suggest inflammation, not necessarily infection. Your IgE levels suggest allergic inflammation. You may watch and wait. You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!
