Hi i have this on the right side of my neck just appeared one day sore and swollen went to docs to be told it was a lymph node pain and swelling went away never had any problems with it still there 7 years later x

Thank you! That’s very reassuring to know! X

Hi, I also have a lymph node on the right side of my neck for 6 months now. I had no symptoms at all, I wasn't ill or have any type of throat infection. I was terrified when I first discovered it and went to see my GP, I had a blood test which was clear from infections and I had a scan too, they said it was nothing to worry about just an lymph node that came up. It's still there, I can feel it when I touch it still but I've had no problems or any symptoms x

Hi

I've also had an enlarged lymph node on the right side of my neck since the end of March. It's not actually been seen by a doctor because of covid but have had several telephone consultations. Initially had antibiotics prescribed which had no effect, had a blood test which came back clear and got referred for an ultrasound in April. I'm still waiting for my ultrasound and the swelling is still there, it hasn't grown and I've had several blood tests for other reasons since which have also all been fine. But the waiting is horrible and I'm finding it hard not to worry. It's about the size of a grape and is clearly visible which makes me quite self-conscious.

I have the option to go private with work but having waited this long already I don't know whether to sit it out or pay the excess to speed up the ultrasound.

Hi, 

I have also has a swollen lymph node below my ear on my

neck since Feb. I saw a Dr at the time who wasn't worried but sent me for a blood test which was fine. Then Covid happened and I haven't seen a Dr since but it is still there now. I have had multiple telephone consultants and again the Dr doesn't seem worried as it's still small and not growing. They also did a chest X-ray to check for more lymph nodes in the chest which was clear. i recently went to the dentist and told him and he put me through for an urgent referal as he said it had been there a long time. Last week I saw the Oral Surgery (as I had surgery on my jaw last year) and he said not to worry too much but he will refer me for an ultra sound next week. I couldn't go this week as I have been poorly so I will hopefully go next week. 
 

Then last week I have developed an unusual ache at the base of my neck and into my collar bone and shoulder. It feels uncomfortably when I squeeze my shoulders up to my ears.

like it's squeezing something in my neck. It's also makes me feel a bit nauseous. Now this new ache has worried me again.

has anyone else had this ache? Was it linked to the lymph node? 

Hi, I was interested to read your post as have had similar symptoms: enlarged pea-sized lymph node in neck since around February, vertigo/migraines, dizziness, brain fog, lost a fair bit of weight, and have had some hearing issues on the same side as the swollen lymph node. I was referred to ENT and had an ultrasound on the lymph node about 3 months ago and was told it's just a reactive node and nothing to be concerned about. Also had an MRI to check ear, with nothing found. However, a couple of weeks ago I noticed another swollen node on the same side which also still hasn't gone down, so now thinking I'll need to tell the doctor about that one too. It's all a bit disconcerting and the symptoms have caused a lot of distress. I hope you get some answers, please post on here if you do. Good luck with it all!

Hi I know these were posted last year but thought I'd reply since I'm 17 and are having the same issue , started off as jaw and neck pain then suddenly my glands on each side popped up but more on the left . Had bloods done ( anaemic ) but everything else showed up fine , been referred for an ultrasound which I am now panicking because I've been thinking I've got cancer for the past few months since my neck has been troubling me since March and have had no other signs of illness other then maybe a week of feeling nauseous for no reason which has cleared I haven't lost weight I'm just curious to see if anyone has had more problems since they last posted ? just want to be reassured a little as I'm so young . Thanks 

I to have 2 swollen lymph nodes in the right side of my neck, l also have just been told l have 3 other tumours on right adrenal, pituarity, and one in my nasopharynx and told not to worry! Absolute joke tbh. Like lm not going to worry and no diagnosis since may 20. Just 1 phone consultation with endocrine. I've no infections,bloods fine etc ...what's going on!? I'm at my wit's end?

Hello guys I have had the same problem too it has been some time since I have gone back to it as I seem to just forget about I have had sleepless nights thinking about as I am same reading all over the internet saying about cancer this cancer that I am not that worried tho I believe it is common to have a swollen limp node for along time for various reasons mine has not grown in anyway and only hurts when I touch it or agitate it, other that that I have had no problems so far, I believe I do need to get it checked out but I think it can be cause by various allergies such as hay fever and other infections you bony could be fighting off I don't think I should have left it so long with out getting it check 

I will give you an update when I have got it check could be some time though with all this COVID stuff

Hello! 
I'm sorry to hear that you are all going through this. I have very similar symptoms although I did catch a virus about 6 weeks ago (not covid). I had really bad phlegm and generally feeling very unwell. My throat still feels swollen (more so on the right side) it's like I have lumps in it. I get dizziness and have lost quite a lot of weight. The doctor has checked my bloods and done a chest X-ray and all appear normal. They have said if my throat doesn't feel better by next week I can have a referral to ENT. Inside my mouth my tonsils still appear swollen and a bit red but the swelling that's bothering me feels like it's further down. If I think about it too much I panic that I can't breathe - it's really getting me down and anxious. I hope it's nothing and just a swollen lymph node from the illness but is taking forever to settle
