Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
About 5 weeks ago, I noticed a lump on my neck, as well as a swollen lymph node. I left it, thinking it would go away, which it did after about 3 to 4 weeks. However, two days ago, I woke up and they were both back, bigger than before. What should I do, and could it be serious?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.Lymph node enlargement may be due to infection or inflammation; however, it could also be a sign of problems in the blood or tumor metastasis. Kindly consult with a primary care doctor, either personally or through telemedicine services, for further evaluation and treatment.
