Swollen lymphnodes?!

Swollen lymphnodes?

I have a swollen lymphnode on the right side of my neck. Its about an inch and half. Not sure about cm. It doesnt hurt at all and I'm not having any other symptoms. I went to the doctor but he didnt prescribe me any prescriptions and said that I just had a swollen lymphnode. Sometimes they just inflame like that. How can I get this lymphnode to go away

My three year old had swollen lymph nodes in his neck. They would flare up and then get better. Our ped put him on strong antibiotics (more than one round) and they finally got smaller and softer. Her next step was going to be referring us to an ENT to surgically drain them. I know of a guy that had and enormous swollen lymph node, literally the size of a med-large lemon and he had to have it drained.

My sister is a nurse and thought that my son's were due to allergies. She and her son have trouble with allergens and their lymph nodes will swell during bad allergy flare ups. It makes sense. Your lymph system is a cleansing part of the body so when they are trying to clean things out, even allergens, I could see why they'd be swollen. If you think it might be an allergy problem, try some allergy meds. If that's not it, and it truly is nothing, then you might just have to wait and see if they get better or worse. If they get worse, I'd push your doctor to find out why.
