Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Neck

I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck without any other symptoms, my white blood count is in the normal range. I have had them for over a year. I am concerned that I may have follicular lymphoma. What symptoms do patients usually experience when they are diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma?

As per your question i may tell that it might be due to various causes as your white blood cell count is in normal range so bacterial infection can be ruled out.Secondly ruled out lymphatic filariasis by doing a simple differential Count of blood.If swelling is due to filariasis then you need DEC full course.After that only you can think of other pathology.Thanks
