Hi lybrate-user
size of the lymph nides also mater. Usually subcentimere sized nodes are due to infection from bacteria and viruses. If you do not have fever, cough, weight loss etc, generally there is no need to worry.

Health Query

Whenever I get really bad cold or fever I notice a swollen lymph node in neck which is like in the size of pepper or peanut. It appears only when I get cold but stays for years and never go away. Two years before I found two swollen nodes when I had severe cold and fever and it never gone down or grew. And this week I again had a bad cold and found another swollen lymph node.

Hi
swollen lymph nodes in the neck are a common occurrence during colds or infections, as they are part of the body's immune response to fight off infections. If the swollen lymph nodes are painless, small, and remain the same size, they are likely not a serious issue. However, if they grow larger, become painful, or are accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, weight loss, or night sweats, it is important to go for routine blood tests as well as usg
regards.

Asked for female, 29 years old from Bangalore

My periods has appeared after two months. And my lymph node in the neck is swollen. Can it be because of my periods or will there be any other cause? I didn't eat anything cold at all for the past whole month. If the lymph node in my neck is enlarged because of periods then how long will it remain enlarged? Do lymph nodes enlarge normally during periods?

This is why most coughs seem to get worse when the temperature falls after dark.But we have to look into the details of the problem.

Hi, don't know if this is the right place to look for help, but I am out of options, basically I have struggled with my stomach and intestines since october 2018, at first it was just a mild fever, burning in stomach, and a few bad bowel habits, but then my bowels became much worse over time, had bouts of diarrhea, constant abdominal tenderness and cramps, and obviously gas, I did all kinds if tests, blood, colonoscopy, endoscopy, ct scan of both abdomen and chest, mri enterography, and nothing showed apart from enlarged lymph nodes, so I went to a hematologist she said that does are reactive and non specific small nodes, and 2 weeks ago I went to a doctor who specialises in infections she ordered a feces test on gut bacteria and came back this e.coli h7 dna, she said that this type of bacteria can cause all these symptoms and lymph nodes but you don't treat it, usually it goes away on it's own, asked what to do next, she said this is probably the thing that causes everything, and just try diets and probiotics for the next 2 months, but it's been 1 year and 6 months, is it possible for bacteria to sit inside me for that long, and cause all these symptoms for so long and won't go away? I just highly doubt it.
