2 week back I suffered from pharyngitis that caused my lymph node enlargement on the left side of the neck after medication it had decrease but later I developed bronchitis, the size of lymph node is decreased , but I can still palpate it,
And I have severe urge to touch it again. Will it be the same size or reduce? please reply!!
The size could be either.. Sometimes lymph nodes will go back down to their original size and sometimes they will stay enlarged and never go back down.. Both are normal and nothing to worry about.
Stop touching! Touching it will make it bigger and not let it go down. You need to leave it alone for a week or more. It will go down but not if you mess with it. Lymph nodes can stay swollen a little while. At least you know the reason it is swollen.
I got paranoid and started messing with the ones in my neck. I couldn’t feel any at first then from all the poking I can feel atleast 5 from them getting irritated and poking out. They are going down now since I quit touching them.
