It is not possible to make a uniform statement about how long an enlarged lymph node will be fine without growing. The causes of enlarged lymph nodes include infections (commonly bacteria, virus, tuberculosis, etc.); malignant tumors (including lymphoma); and connective tissue diseases. No matter what the cause of lymph node enlargement is, it should be examined and treated accordingly after a clear diagnosis. If the swelling of lymph nodes is only caused by inflammation, the inflammation will be gradually eliminated in about 3~7 days, and then the swelling of lymph nodes will gradually subside and return to normal, which is usually not serious. However, some chronic lymphadenitis, inflammation and infection for a long time, may appear swollen for several months, after effective treatment, will also be healed, usually will not appear sequelae. And connective tissue disease caused by lymph node enlargement, can last for days, weeks, months of time, after active and effective treatment, can also return to normal. However, if the lymph node enlargement is caused by malignant tumor metastasis or lymphoma, it lasts for a long time. This kind of disease is more serious and needs active treatment, which can be life-threatening in serious cases. If you only find out that your lymph nodes are enlarged, it is recommended that you consult a doctor in time, analyze the cause of the enlarged lymph nodes under the guidance of a professional physician, and then carry out effective and regular treatment.
