What Does Swollen Lymph Node With Fever, Chills And Body Ache Indicate?

I have had a swollen lymph node on my left temple for a few months. Within the past few days I have noticed that it continues to swell and get bigger. I am now experiencing headaches, being light headed, fever, chills, body aches, fatigue, and not feeling well after I eat. What is wrong with me?

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Fever with Swollen lymph nodes can be a symptom of any of the following:
1. Bacterial Infection
2. Tuberculosis
3. Lymphoma.

I advise you to get following:
1. Hemogram with ESR
2. Xray Chest
3. Blood picture
4. FNAC of the lymh node.

You should not wait, you should get investigated.

This is my best advice for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
