A member asked:

Can continuing to poke lymphnodes make them irritated and not go away? and if you have lupus how long after meds does it take for them 2 go away

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If you poke any tissue it would be more irritated , there is no time limit when l/nodes would go away , ithink you meant swelling of l/nodes please donot pke.
