Swollen lymph nodes
I had 1.2*0.7cm swollen lymph nodes in upper part of posterior triangle of neck which is persistent for 6 months. It is still painful to touch, soft and moveable. I had previously no symtoms just bit of throat irritation. But now i had symptoms of nasal irrigation, post nasal drip and bit of cough. Fnac report says features of reactive lymphadenitis in background of rbc and No atypical cells seen. The size of node hasn't changed a bit. What going to be my next steps. I had also taken a course of Antibiotics. I am uploading my ultrasound report.
