Pea sized lymph nodes

I had a bad cold about 10 weeks ago and my glands came up in my neck, since then I have one on the right side that hasn’t gone down and 2 on the left. I’ve been to Gp and they did bloods which were clear and said to come again in 6 weeks if still there. Has anyone experienced pea sized lumps lasting that long after a cold ? I’m petrified of lymphoma

    Hello catmum12345, 

    I hope that you will hear from others here who have experienced similar pea sized lumps after a cold. It sounds like your GP is not overly concerned so I would suggest you do as they said to wait a few weeks and go back again to your doctor's if it's still there. Try not to worry too much as there are so many other harmless conditions which could explain this and I keep everything crossed for you that it is nothing of concern. 

    Best wishes,
