A few months ago I had two swollen nodes, one on the back of my neck and one under my ear. The one under my ear has gone down in size but is still there and the one on the back of my neck went away after about a week, but then came back recently, but has gone away again after about a week. Do I need to get this checked out? I originally got them checked out and the doctor said they were nothing to worry about and can appear at times of stress ( I wasn't poorly either at the time I had them). When the one on the back of my neck reappeared I had an appt with the doctor, but by the time of my appointment it had gone away so I didn't attend the appointment. Not sure if I should make an appointment to discuss it with the doctor anyway?
