Hey so basically I have had swollen lymph nodes on one side of my neck for over a month now they have slightly gone down I had a blood test which showed I had low iron and my thyroid result came back boderline I'm curious if Mabey this could be the reason I have lymph nodes and not something more serious as the other symptom I have had is extremely feeling cold and I have checked my head and temperature seems normal wondering if these could relate I also am only 16 thank you 

  • Hello Mia.f4 and thanks for posting.

    I'm sorry to read you have had swollen lymph nodes for over a month and that your blood tests came back with some values outside of the expected range.

    As far as your question goes, it's difficult for us to guess. It might be better to go back to your doctor and discuss this with them. You mentioned you're only 16 so perhaps you can ask a parent or another adult who is close to you about booking an appointment with your GP to talk things over?

    Alternatively, if you would like to talk about this with someone with a medical background over the phone, our nurses are a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope this helps.

    All the best,
