Have Swollen Cervical Lymph Nodes On Neck, FNAC Report Awaited. Had Undergone Tooth Extraction Few Weeks Ago
Hello, I have swollen cervical lymph nodes (thats what the USG report says) on the left neck. Did FNAC two days back. Initially the 16 X 10 mm SOL was painless, but after the FNAC, I can feel a pain if its pressed. I must also tell that I underwent a tooth extraction around 3 weeks back..is there something to worry?..FNAC report is awaited.
