Biopsy: My rule of thumb for a persisting enlarged lymph node greater than 1 CM diameter, particularly if it remains nontender, is to have it biopsied. This is especially true if there is no present signs or symptoms of infectious process. However i might try a course of antibiotics such as Dicloxacillin before doing this.

Lighten up: Four doctors have examined your nodes and found them to be not significant. That is a pretty good sampling of opinion. Why does this obsess you? Did a member of your family or a close friend have a disease which started with detection of abnormal nodes? If you wander around enough, you will find someone who wil cave and do a biopsy - but why? Since it seems it will be normal.
