I've had this lymph node that got swollen after a fever a couple of years ago, and I used to press it a lot back then. I just recently got tested for HIV and VDRL, both came back negative, and I feel good overall, like my weight's normal and all. Do you think the swelling could be from pressing it too much back then, or could there be something else going on that's more serious?
