Reactive lymph nodes following ultrasound

Hello 

 

I went to doctors around 8 weeks ago with tender swollen lumps in under arms and a lump on the right side of my neck. I was referred for ultrasound who confirmed they were enlarged reactive lympth nodes. I was put on antibiotics, the under arm tender lumps have since disappeared. However I still have a large lump on my neck which I was told is just reactive but it has not decreased in size six weeks later is this normal? ENT done a camera check down my nose neck and all looked normal. They have discharged me back to GP however I am worried if my neck was reactive why this has not started to decrease and should a biopsy not be done to check? They are saying no but I am really worried. I am 27 and blood work cake back ok with slightly high white blood cell count which they were not concerned about.

  • Hi Jodie sorry this is a very late reply but I am experiencing similar. I noticed 2 lumps in my neck under my chin in October 2020 and went for a ultrasound scan and came back as reactive lymph nodes and nothing to worry about. Since then I've been back for another scan and still just reactive lymph nodes. However I'm very worried as it's coming up to 2 years I've had these lumps in my neck. I'm just wondering if anything has happened with you since or if the lump on your neck has now disappeared? Thanks
