Swollen Lymph Nodes

[MsKnuckles]

If it was a normal infection... due to cold or fever or wtever. For how long do they normally remain swollen?

[HITMAN]

In case of an acute upper respiratory tract infection, it is usual to get enlarged cervical lymph nodes (the nodes on the course of the neck), mostly caused by viral infections & shall subside within 2 weeks the most

In case bacetrial infection is suspected then a course of antibiotics is required

Tee, there isn't anything called normal or abnormal infection ;p

[MsKnuckles]

normal = normal infection

abnormal = cancer or cancerous cells

tee language :XD: :p

any newbie who didn't study medicine would get my pidgin :p

i had them a couple of weeks ago...doctor told me if they don't go down in two weeks take a blood test. they did go down, so tee, have some patience. my doc said they swell up after a cold normally...

[MsKnuckles]

after a moment of silently sitting and thinking... bloody lymph node. asked a doctor here.

tee: ummmm... how long do lymph nodes remain swollen?

doc: usually 2 weeks.... why?

tee: just asking
