dear kyle
whts size and consistency of node. If its small and mobile dont worry. If these are increasing in size or you have pain consult hematologist and get biopsy done which gives idea about lymph node swelling

Hi greetings from health care magic
If it is movable them the risk factor reduces 50%. Any obstruction in lymph flow will cause the lymphnode swelling(lymphadenitis). You can go for biopsy to make yourself fre from any future tension. If biopsy comes negative then i can help you in this mater. thank you
