I have had swollen posterior cervical lymph nodes for 6 months. They are hard, tender, and movable. I have no scalp itchiness, but my doctor says it is a scalp infection. FNAC report shows reactive changes, and my blood report is normal. What should I do?

Reactive lymph nodes usually indicate past infection or inflammation. If swelling persists more than 6 months, even if non cancerous, further evaluation is wise. Rule out TB or autoimmune causes.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test
