Swollen lymph nodes
Why my lymph nodes in posterior triangle are still swollen even after 5 months even if fnac report says reactive.The nodes are hard, tender and moveable. I had also taken antibiotics prescribed by doctor. Is it possible that lymph nodes from infection stay swollen for such a long time?

If swollen lymph nodes still persisting go for lymph node biopsy .
Go for CBC with peripheral smear to rule out lymphoma and also see any lymph nodes enlargement in other part of the body ie Scilla and groin region
