Swollen lymph nodes

2022-07-06 06:37:28
I have been having a mild swelling on lymph node under my jaw from about a month and a half. I did ultrasounds twice and there's a mild reduction in size from the last ultrasound. Doctors say it's a reactive lymph node and isn't a cause of worry. However, since it's been so long and there's still some swelling, I am super worried that I may have cancer. I have been prescribed antibiotics and I finished the course of 5 days. Even though, I don't visibly have any cold or infection as such. Kindly help me figure out what it could be

FNAC of the swelling will direct you to the root cause of your problem. Although ones lymph node swelling due to infection doesn't always normalize to absolutely normal size.

If it's not improving then get FNAC from the swelling to detect the nature of the swelling.
