Q: i have lymph node on left side of my neck is this worrying should i get checked out ?

: Slightly swollen lymph nodes in neck are quite common, usually in response to a viral URI, often so mild that your not even aware of it. If swelling persists in same spot for 3-4 weeks (very unlikely), it may reassure you to have a doctor examine it.
