20 year old, reactive lymph node in neck

20 year old, reactive lymph node in neck

Hello,

I am a 20 year old female, healthy other an underactive thyroid diagnosed May 2010.  About a month ago I noticed a lump in my thyroid region.  To make a long story short, I went through testing and bouncing back between thyroid nodule and parathyroid adenoma only to determine it was a reactive lymph node.  It is .75 cm in size and located posterior and inferior to the left side of the thyroid.  The biopsy showed that the lymph node is reactive.  Submental nodes appeared to be inflamed on a CT scan, but were only a few millimeters in size.

Should I be worried?  I was on a Z Pack for 5 days and it did not decrease in size at all. The doctor said I can remove it now or wait two months to see if it stays.
