what are the early symptoms of lymphoma? Is is normal to have tiny swollen lymph nodes even if I'm not sick?
Question:
Answers:
Lymphoma would cause your lymph nodes to be swollen and hard. Most cancers in your lymph nodes will cause the nodes to become very firm or hard. It is normal to have lymph nodes become swollen when your body is fighting off an infection. If you are reallly thin it is normal to feel nodes under the skin all the time. If the nodes are tender to touch, it is probably an infection. If they are not it is probably something chronic, such as sinusitis. I would have them examined by your doctor to ease your worries. Good luck.
Other Answers:
Yes, actually it is. Many different things cause that. One of them is a mild allergic reaction.
swollen lymph nodes are a sign that your body is fighting off something that doesn't belong, i.e., virus, infection, etc.
If you have a cluster of swollen lymph nodes, please see your doctor, as there may be something serious happening in your body that needs attention.
Sometimes swollen lymph nodes can be caused by an ear infection or allergies. I would go see a doctor and find out what it is.
To answer the question "Is is normal to have tiny swollen lymph nodes even if I'm not sick?":
My daughter had an enlarged lymph node near her ear. When checked out, they said to wait and see if it reduced in size. We finally had the ENT check it out and he thought it was a dermoid cyst. We had a quick, small surgery where it confirmed his suspicion.
But, lymph nodes could be enlarged to help fight thing in your body. even when you don't feel sick.
