ok, this is a long story lol. I had a uti which spread to my kidneys 4 weeks ago, had to go to A&E and take antibiotics which terrified me, cleared up fine, was feeling run down after taking these (cipro) so went to walk in centre and nurse said i had a mild cold. Two weeks later I discover a lymph node about an inch away from my collarbone at the side. My mum said this is normal but I cant help obsessing about it and googling it! Went to walk in centre again, nurse didnt really know what to say/do but said to keep an eye on it and poss get blood test (which scared me even more!!) but im confused as it is no bigger than pea sized. Is this normal or should i be worried?

thanks

It is normal for lymph nodes to come up when you have an infection so don't worry.

thanks, how long can they stay up after an infection?
