Swollen Lymph Nodes
How long do they stay for after ARS? do they go away?
Yes, they would be HUGE I have heard.
When I had mono my neck ones swelled and you could see them by looking at me, but my Dr. said it was very very mild. I am praying that is a sign I had mono and not ARS. My swelling only lasted a week.
Only a dr can tell you if they are swollen. If you keep pressing on them and prodding you can actually make them swell because it irritates the glands if you mess with them.

if the lymph nodes swell during ARS, they swell significantly and everywhere. After the ARS passes, they reamin swollen for a few weeks or even months before going down.
