Is it possible for lymph nodes to stay swollen for 6 months even if it is caused by infection. Size is 1.2*0.7cm which has not changed in 6 months. Fnac says non specific reactive lymphadenitis. Can it be Lymphoma or metastic cancer. What should i do?

Yes, sometimes they do. Specially if it’s from seborrhoeic dermatitis of scalp and the primary cause is not addressed. Only oral antibiotics won’t help much

It can’t be lymphoma or metastatic cancer as it is very small and not increasing in size To nothing much to worry Still clinical examination will help you most
