Is It Necessary To Consult Doctor For Swollen Lymph Nodes After Fever?
I had a fever and terrible body pain (all over) on W-TH-F of last week. On Monday a rash appeared from my neck to my knees. It looks like mottling under the skin. My lymph nodes in my neck, behind my ear and in my right armpit are swollen. No fever or pain since Fridaqy. Do I need to follow up with a doctor?

hello
i really appreciate your concern
this could be reactive lymph node enlargement due to infection
body rashes followed by fever might be due to chicken pox,
diagnosis of chicken pox can be confirmed by history and close examination of rashes and its distribution
i see such patients in my clinic regularly, after through examination i advise them for FNAC and if it is persist longer than a course of antibiotics
I hope this addresses your question
best wishes
