Why Is My Lymph Node Swollen and Getting Bigger?
Patient Query
Hello Doctor,
I’ve noticed a large lymph node that feels swollen, and I haven’t been sick or had any symptoms of a virus or infection. Over the past 2 to 3 weeks, it seems to have grown bigger. Should I be concerned, and what could be causing this?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
A swollen lymph node without signs of infection can have several causes, including inflammation, immune reactions, or sometimes more serious conditions. Since it’s been growing for a few weeks, it’s important to have it evaluated in person to determine the cause and whether any tests are needed. Please consider scheduling a consultation soon.
Thanks
