Swollen lymph nodes on my neck
hello
its all started about 2 moths ago.i had a lot of lymph nodes swollen on my neck and behind my ear(only right side),i was kinda dizzy and i had a little bit raised temperature.
my doctor assumed that i've got those while i was driving with opened windows after swimming .so we i didn't do any blood work yet.though im pretty sure that i don't have anything like STD or HIV.
today after 2 moths all my lymph nodes disappeared... except the biggest one on my neck.Its much more smaller than it was but i still can touch and feel it.
also today when touched it i felt really bad,its not a sharp pain but it felt bad.(all my lymph nodes were painless before).
though now i don't have any pain again.
so now im kinda nervous,
maybe there is another reason for my lymph node,like perfume allergy,or my glasses,maybe they are touching a vein or something^^
Should i worry about that ?

Don't poke at your lymph glands,that will make them sore. I have had swollen lymph glands for years & used to wonder why.I have now been diagnosed with a hypercalcemia due to a parathyroid tumor. Get your blood work done. better to be safe than sorry!
thanks a lot for your help.and no i didn't have any cat scratches.i hope my last lymph node would go away very soon
Well, you have to be scratched by a cat to get cat scratch fever. If you have been around a cat then the diagnosis could be that as well. Anyway, I hope the problem is resolving.
take care,

Maybe you should be tested for cat scratch fever. I had a similar problem. My one lymph node hurt very bad on my left side, I felt lethargic, and had a mild fever temporarily. The lethargy and fever went away, but not the pain in my lymph node. It lasted for months and months. The doctor assumed mono or possibly some vitamin deficiency (because I am a vegetarian). The tests all came back negative: no mono, no deficiencies, no cancer, etc. I asked my women's health doctor and she thought that it may have been cat scratch fever, which generally takes care of its self, runs its own course. I was never tested for that. Maybe that's something you could inquire about with your doctor.
Although, mkh9's comment would make alot of sense as well. It would explain the dizziness.
