Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having lymph node enlargement since 3 months.


Answers and solutions for your query.

1. As per your clinical details, 8 mm size lymph node is quite ignorable. But, you need to evaluate with other tests in case of associated symptoms like loss of weight, cough, wheeze, breathlessness, other area (pubic, inguinal) lymph node enlargement and loss of appetite.

2. I would recommend you to re consult an ent/general surgeon and get a nod for doing tests to see any hidden infections (x-ray chest, complete blood picture, and TB pcr ).

Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer:
doppler study.

Detailed Answer:

Hello again,

Let me explain again, Nodes are generally considered to be normal if they are up to 1 cm in diameter. An increase in nodal size on serial examinations is significant. so, do not worry.

If you are still in suspicion, better to undergo grey scale and power doppler sonographic features are useful to identify the cause of lymph node enlargement (grey scale features size, shape, status of echogenic hilus, echogenicity, micronodular appearance, intranodal necrosis and calcification of lymph node).

All the best. Take care.
