General doubt
Many people in this forum talk about swollen lymph nodes. I want to know whether one can touch the swollen lymph nodes and feel it. Is it possible for a person to develop swollen lymph node and not feel it. I already posted about my exposure to oral sex. I am often suffering from slight throat pain and find it little hard to swallow food. Can i have swollen lymph node without my notice. Thanks for all in advance. All answers will be appreciated.
Best Answer
A trained Doctor can certainly touch lymph nodes and feel if they are swollen. Trying to do it yourself is not a good idea though. You do not have the training, knowledge and experience needed to diagnose what may be wrong. Sore throats are very common and usually do not involve swollen lymph nodes or HIV. How many sore throats have you had before that you were not worried about? This one is not related to HIV either - oral sex is not a risk for HIV. Don't worry about something that is not real.
