I have two palpable lymphnodes in my neck. When turning my head to the right I feel one on the upper side region, and when turning my head to the left I feel on on the lower bottom region of my neck. I have felt at least one of these nodes for about 3 years now. I have a history of tonsil and sinus infections, and chronic post nasal drip. Could this be the cause of my palpable nodes or could it be signs of HIV infection (after searching the Internet on lymphnodes this is a result that has come up many times and has started to cause fear/paranoia for me. Thanks for your response in advance.
Hello I have studied your case. Lymph node involvement can be due to infection, lymphoma, and malignancy. I will advise doing blood investigation and FNAC of swelling should be done and lymphangiography. If required CT scan or PET scan for early diagnosis and treatment. This could be serious so do investigation quickly. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
