Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.You should be worried but not too much. I see similar cases amongst young people who visit my clinic.It is enlarged lymphatic node due different causes as
- viruses(adenoirus, EBV,CMV,HHV 6 type and etc);
- bacteria(Stretococcus,St.aureus);
- frequent tonsillitis, pharyngitis and other infection in the neck region.
