Enlarged lymph node in the rigt side of the neck

by observer6969, Jan 05, 2008 06:40AM
Hello. About two weeks ago I noticed an enlarged lymph node in the rigt side of the neck. I'm a little worried because my mom died two years ago - shte had a lymphoma. The node is a bit long, which made my GP to think that it's not a lymph node, but a tendon. Anyway, I checked it with a echo and it is a lymph node. The doctor said that it was nothing serious. I made a blood test and the results are:
Leuc. 9,8 G/L
RBC (еритроцити) 4,9 T/L
Hb 148 g/l
Hct 43 %
Plt 318 G/L
CУE 3 mm
MCV 87 fl
MCH 30,2 pg
MCHC 348 g/l

St 2%, Sg 66%, Ly 30%, Mo 1%, Eo 1%

I had some throat infection about a month ago, but it was only for a day, or two... Should I be worried, having in mind these results?

Thanks in advance!

Hi.
The result of your blood exam can still be considered within normal limits.
An enlarged lymph node could be a result of a previous infection.  There are times when the lymph nodes do not disappear even after treatment.
For now, you can observe if the lymph node will persist or not, or if it increases in number.
Stay calm always.
Good luck.
