 Hi Yung_Trae53,
Lymph nodes commonly enlarge due to an infection because they are the bodies filtering system for bacteria. They may not return to their preinfectious size. However, you may want to have the areas evaluated by your physician to assure this is the causative factor and that it is not related to any other anomalies.
Sincerely,
Rntdj

Hi Yung_Trae53,
Generally speaking lymph nodes that are hard and fixed are much more concerning than the one's that are mobile (which usually indicate an infection etc.) Have a physician evaluate the areas to alleviate your concerns.
Sincerely,
