Lymph nodes for 8months

Earlier this year i was diagnosed with glandular fever/mono i had severe symptoms such as lymph nodes, sore throat, swollen tonsils, and lost of appetite but all my symptoms has gone away apart from my lymph nodes and my best friend google decides to take my head to the worst possible areas. Ive had multiple ultrasounds and blood tests saying my lymph nodes are nothing serious but That does not take my worry away and I'm scared i look up at the internet and it says symptoms that last a longtime such as 6+months can be caebv also known as a chronic active ebv virus which can be fatal or lead to cancer. But it also says it a very rare thing im 18years of age and its affecting my life my gp decides to do nothing and im wondering if i can get any help

  • Hi Jackyypop,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear of your concerns. I am not a doctor, but I expect that If you've had multiple blood tests and ultrasounds, these should have detected if there was anything untoward with your lymph nodes. Most lymph nodes settle down with time, but some never go back to their original size, yet they still remain normal.  You are doing the worst thing possible if you are consulting "Dr Google". Most of the cases are aimed at the more spectacular cases and these will only serve to scare you, but not give you any answers.

    If you are still unhappy after all of these tests, you are entitled to a second opinion. Do you have another GP in your practice that you could see?

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
