Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Reactive lymphadenitis is possibly due to infection in the draining areas.
2. Cervical region surrounding areas, needs to evaluated for infection..
3. Sputum examination and complete hemogram is necessary
4. However, if there are no areas of infection, it would be prudent to wait for 2-3 months, as lymphnode to reduce in size will take a longer time. Fever in the mornings if present indicates possible infection, daily evaluation is necessary, if fever is present. More details necessary for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
