A member asked:
Lymph nodes hurt after drinking alcohol means you have cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hodgkin lymphoma: Lymph node pain from alcohol is a "classic" (but uncommon) symptom in hodgkin's lymphoma. It doesn't prove that any cancer or lymphoma is present, but is worthy of a physician history and physical examination to start.
