Ask her what she thinks the problem. She knows your detailed history and physical exam and lab numbers we do not. There are many causes and she is in best position to rank them in likelihood. Discuss.

It is not feasible to know without taking out the node and submitting it to a pathologist. However, it would be okay to wait and watch. 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!
