Hello,

I can understand your concern. Your doctor had evaluated these nodules 1 year back and said that there is nothing to worry about.

However, an entire year has passed and you still have the nodes which also gives you discomfort and other sensations. I would advise you not to ignore them.

I would advise you to go back to the doctor and go for another OPG and CT Scan if needed. Let the same doctor evaluate again for he will know if the nodules have increase in size etc.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
