Having a rough week

Hello everyone it's Been a while since my last post,

I have had a rough couple weeks. Have some family health issues as well as obsessing over my own personal issues. Lymph nodes in my neck are still swollen and lingual tonsilitis papillae and circumlativalle papillae are all the way on the back of my mouth for the past 5 months. Been to a few doctors who say it is normal but it'a just the fact they are there..

Any one have any interesting information about lymph nodes? I don't know if they are really that swollen or if its just me thinking about it. I know the mind is crazy and makes you think things about your own health. What else can cause swollen lymph nodes besides a virus , hiv or cancer? seems like thats the only things you get when you go to google for advice.

I have been told that my tonsils are abnormally big and should be taken out at some point. I wouldnt say that my throat is sore all the time but just abnormally large.

Starting to think that there is some sort of a relationship between the tonsils, lymph nodes and raised bumps at the back of my tonugue. Once again just to clarify it is apart of the norlam tongue anatomy so it's not like there random bumps.

Thanks for the help

SMU,

...remind me, did you see an ENT? I remember you posting on this concern awhile ago, but I can't recall if you saw a specialist, or just your PCP.

If you have not seen an ENT, you may want to get a consult, just for peace of mind.

I know that lymph nodes can stay swollen for weeks after the virus, bacteria or even allergy has passed.

If you are having prolonged issues with your throat and lymph nodes, then you may want to rule out the possibility allergies, which can also lead to swollen lymph nodes.

I even have had swollen glands from a canker sore in my mouth...and even a reaction to a hair coloring product, which make the node behind my ear swollen for over 6 weeks!

I hope that you get the answers that you need soon. Try not to worry about it until you can be seen. It is most suredly going to be something of a benign nature.:)
