Lymph node enlarged
Hi, i had a dental infection and also the lymph nodes on the back of my neck are enlarged since about 2 months. I underwent a cbc blood test but everything is normal. So does that mean lymph nodes are not due to infection and some other reason? They are painless and movable all of them are on the back of my neck.
