A member asked:
Do you think i should go to the doctor just for swollen lymph nodes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: I hate to say run to the doc every time you feel something but i'd rather be safe than sorry so maybe you should see your doc, especially if the nodes are very large, in multiple locations, not related to an infection, or associated with unexplained weight loss or fevers. Best to you.
