Is A Swollen Lymph Node In The Neck A Cause For Concern?
Hi, my daughter is 22 and has a swollen lymph node on the left side of her neck, she easily bruises and has been extremely tired lately. She doesn t seem to have any other symptoms though. However we do have autoimmune disorders in our family and she has tested positive for Raynaud s disease . I m worried that these additional symptoms are precursors to a more serious autoimmune disorder for her.

Hello,
Please get her checked with a rheumatologist to rule out lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Also, consult hematologist and oncologist to make sure whether it's benign lymph nodes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Priya Sadanandan
