Lympnode problem

Lympnode problem

Around 3 weeks ago I had a really bad bladder/ kidney infection and took antibiotics for 5 or 7 days and 3 days ago I noticed I have swollen tender lympnodes in the right side of my neck.

Also I suffer from anxiety and some hypocondria I tend to rub them and check on them alot could the constant rubbing cause them to hurt more or grow more? And my minds pretty much set on cancer. I'm scared.

Also does anyone know what can help the tenderness and help it go down?

Hi there!

Rubbing would not cause the lymphnodes to grow or hurt. Tender, enlarged lymphnodes are often indicative of infections/ inflammations and unlikely to be due to a malignancy. It would be best to get this evaluated by a primary care physician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
