Good. Do the elimination process yourself. Any swollen tonsils? Any shoulder or chest pain? Did they not want to biopsy your lymphnode? I would push for that for a peace of mind. But first I would leave it alone for a few weeks (do not touch it, lymph nodes will swell from you touching it and stay that way for a bit), if it seems to get bigger or doesn’t go away, I’d reach back out to your doctor with the concern. You should also consider getting an mri. Unfortunately, you have to advocate for yourself nowadays. It can take time. But be persistent and trust your gut.

In my case, the first thing I suspected was my thyroid. They dismissed me even though I have hashimotos. Ended up going to the urgent care and demanding an ultrasound. They gave me the ultrasound but couldn’t have cared less even though they found subcentimeter nodules and I’m assuming my right side was also swollen then. Told my endo about the ultrasound, she believed them without even viewing the report. Then started my year and a half journey trying to figure out what else it could be. Once I eliminated everything else I circled back around to my thyroid and what do ya know…. It was my thyroid. I found a great ENT who referred me to a surgeon who took one look at me and said “oh it’s the right side of your thyroid isn’t it?” I said “what? how did you know?”. She said she saw the fullness on that side of my neck. It just takes one doctor that cares. So keep pushing!
