Answer
Kate, if the doctor can’t or hasn’t told you why your lymph nodes are swollen, you should definitely get another opinion. Clearly there’s something going on that’s making them swell; usually it’s a sign of infection or something else your white blood cells don’t like. I’d pursue this if I were you; either make the doctor do more tests to ascertain what’s up, or ask for a referral to another doctor for a second opinion. Good luck - PJH
