Hello,

Swollen lymph nodes and recurrent serious infections could be of a serious concern, yes. However, it is probably unlikely that it is malignant, due to the time period of 6 years. To be completely sure, you will have to go to a doctor and get your lymph nodes checked. Ultrasound, biopsy or so is indicates for lymph nodes being swollen for this long. I will also recommend a wide screening of blood samples, especially red and white blood cells and their differentiation count.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kasper Kristensen, General & Family Physician
