So, my dad is 59 and he's had this high d-dimer level at 1.82. He got over COVID about 47 days back. Just after he got discharged, we checked, and the d-dimer was at 0.5, but now it's jumped to 1.82. Plus, his white blood cells went down from 10,000 to 4,000 over these weeks. Is this something we should be really worried about? Can you suggest any treatment or ideas on what's going on?

Question

I'm really worried about my swollen lymph nodes in the posterior triangle. It's been about 5 months now, and even though the FNAC report says they're reactive, theyre still hard, tender, and moveable. I finished the antibiotics my doctor prescribed, but the swelling hasnt gone down. Could it be possible for lymph nodes from an infection to stay swollen for this long? What should I do next?
