Lymph node swollen , should I go to the GP?

Hi ! So I've had one swollen lymph node for around 5 weeks now. It's next to my jaw and it has been swollen for 5 weeks and in that time it's doubled in size it's around 4cm now, I don't like to panic about my health but I guess this has concerned me a lot. I'm very lethargic and I just can't get rested , I'm constantly sweating especially at night and I keep having chest pains and headaches worse then usual. I just feel generally unwell all the time. It's only the one lymph node that is swollen but it having doubled in its size within 5 weeks it's caught me a bit off guard. 
 

ive only left this so long because a family member of mine and a friend that I spent a few days with had covid , I didn't end up getting it but I didn't want to run to the GP if it's just my body fighting something.

  • Hi .. 

    There's only one way to know if it's o.k ... stop putting it off and call your Dr and ask them to look at it .. it may just be fine, but leaving it won't help .. so take the bull by the horn, and call them ... 

    Fingers crossed for you... let us know how you go ... Chrissie...
