Determine the diameter of the lymph node
Hello from the last 15 days i have a swollen lymph node i had been to a ent , an oncologist , dermatologist and a general surgeon . All say that those nodes are not swollen . I had blood reports CBC , esr , ldh, kidney function , liver function , and all were normal . After that i went for a ultrasound in which one radiologist said it was not a lymph node but it was a 15×4 mm subcutaneous lipoma. So if went to another radiologist who did another ultrasound i for 15×4 mm lymph node is this normal

a swelling for 15 days might be a lymph node although dimensions of 15X4mm neither time nor size yet come in the danger zone. so you might just take a course of antibiotics and wait and watch.
Next Steps
if it increases in size or causes pain the consult a doctor and get it further investigated by FNAC to know the exact pathology
