I've had swollen lymph nodes for about seven months now, and while they're moveable and don't hurt, they just won't go away. The FNAC test I did said they're reactive, but after trying antibiotics, nothing's changed theyre still the same size. I dont have any other symptoms, so I'm kind of at a loss here. What should my next steps be? Trying not to worry too much, but it's been a while.
