lympn node question
in march i had tonsilitis. swollen gland with white patches on my throat. was cleared up with antibiotics.
in april i had 2 moles removed from my neck.
a few days after i was rubbing a stiff neck and felt a swollen cervical lymph node on the right side of my neck. apon further investigation i felt the similar node on the right side. when i pressed on it it hurt but it was not that large at all. maybe the size of a small kidney bean or marble.
i went to the dr and he wasnt worried at all. i went back 2 weeks later and he still wasnt worried. i went back a few days later and saw his partner who also was not worried.
i went to the ENT who sent a camera up my nose and saw i had large adenoids. not an issue he said.
he was not concerned withthe cervical lymph nodes either. he gave me antibiotics and i have an appointment in7 days for a follow up.
only when i press on them they hurt. they have not grown...well, when i play with them they tend to get a little bigger.
Is there something i need to worry about? can it be something and none of the drs have caught it? I am just wondering what could have caused these thigns to swell.
any input would be welcomed.
just keep the negative stuff out please. thanks

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Nothing really to be concerned about, given your medical history, it is expected you will have some lymph node swelling in neck region. Watch the lump. Do not touch everyday but once in 10-15 days. If the lump increases in size, becomes painful, changes color, bleeds, changes shape or consistency or more similar lumps appear then consult a doctor. Repeated handling will increase their sixe. So just let it be.
Hope this helps. Take care!
