Do you think a Doctor can tell if a swollen gland is benign by feeling it? Should I rush to another Doctor for a second opinion or just wait to see if it goes down? From all of the information I can gather on the internet most cases I've read about swollen glands the Doctors don't order further testing unless the gland becomes larger. I'm confused, anxious, and worried.
If you think it is a problem you can have your Doctor ask a Surgeon to remove it.
I would listen to my doctor and wait to see if it goes away. I'm not a Doctor all I can tell you is I know how you feel. I did have Lymphoma. My Lymphnodes however did not swell up. Your doctor can also do up some bloodwork.It is great you don't have the other symptoms. I however did. Stay calm and follow up with your doctor.
