Signs of potentially benign lymph nodes
Here are some signs that swollen lymph nodes are likely benign:
- You experience other symptoms, such as coughing, body aches, or nausea [1] that means you have a viral infection or other illness.
- The swollen lymph nodes are located near an infected body part, such as the throat, ears, or mouth.
- The swelling is going down as you recover from infection or illness.
