lymph nodes in neck

hi, i've had lymph node lumps in my neck for over a year now, not sure about the size of them but i have loads in my neck , i've recently discovered ones under my jaw too and also just below my jawline under my ear, i'm just wondering if this could be bad, i don't have any infection or feel unwell, i'm only 17 as well and i'm really worried. ive went to the doctors and they tell me to come back if i have a fever or night sweats which i don't but it still worries me that i'm finding more of these, sometimes some of them are abit tender. i did also have pain in my armpits but it is going away, please help me 

  • Hi EleanorM,

    It's good to hear that you've got this checked out and that the doctor doesn't seem concerned. Try to take some reassurance from this - if they had any concerns then they would have referred you.

    See how things go and if you remain worried then you can always try to get some further answers from your GP if it would help to give you peace of mind.

    All the best,
