Swollen lymph nodes
I had swollen lymph nodes in upper posterior triangle in right side of neck for almost 7 months. The size of node is 1.2*0.7cm.Its size is constant throughout seven months. It is Moveable and firm. It was painfull before but not now. Fnac report says feature of reactive lymphadenitis in background of rbc. Is it possible for lymph nodes to stay swollen permanently even if it is from infection. Can it still b serious?
