Swollen gland confusion

Hello, 

I recently had a swollen gland come up and got it checked out at an ultrasound. The doctor said it was all fine however then discovered my glands are swollen from my jawline to just my upper collar bone. I have not gone away or been ill for a very long time now. I am not experiencing any symptoms which aren't also consistent with typical student lockdown stress, e.g tiredness and painful headaches, so I am very unsure. I have been referred to have a full blood count and it's going to be taken from there. 
 

Can anyone relate to this and reassure me that they had this and tests where normal? 
 

Thank you, 

Jade.

    I can appreciate why you're worried but try to focus on the fact that your doctor hasn't found anything serious while running an ultrasound. You have done everything you could have done up to now and until you get to hear from the doctor about the blood results shifting your mind to other things might be a good idea.

    Hopefully, others who have gone through a similar experience will come along shortly to give the reassurance you need, until then, stay strong.

    With best wishes,
