As far as i know this can happen when you have a cold, so they become bigger.

As long as you can move them a bit around and they are not fixed to one spot, there is in my opinion nothing to be worried.

But i would suggest you to visit a doc too, just to make sure 100%

It would be localized to the cervicAL chain of lymph nodes if it was a URI.

Sorry, didnt read that he said in his armpits.

I often avoid to go to doc too, but if you want a 100% clear mind, then id suggest to visit a doc

Yeah i'm concerned about the money factor, as far as seeing a doctor.... but maybe my insurance will cover the biopsy/treatmetn if it is cancer
thanks guys

From what you PM'd me, probably just a superficial infection, you should be good. If in a week things don't get better, it may not be an infection.

Cool, I was wondering if an MD gave him that crock of garbage. Why on earth would any holistic practitioner or MD think drinking soda caused his lymph nodes to swell? Make peace with your demons.

@ ferf, legitimate concern, but way too much of it. Lymph node swelling is pretty common and it's usually not a sign of cancer. It could be, but it's most likely not. nn hypochondria. If it worries you, just wait a week or so and then see a doc. Vivi is probably right that it's a passing infection.

Thanks guys!

go to a doc bro u could be dead
