hi, i have enlarged lymph node on my neck, noticed one month ago , it s not painful, the  latest blood test i have an elevated uric acid level,  i have made CT scan last month and it came back that i had a gland over 1.4 cm in my left part of my neck and other smaller lymph nodes in yhe right.  do they have a relation ? what are the steps for diagnosis & treating this type of swelling ? & what are the consequences or complication that may happen ? Shall i have to make an operation?
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. No you don't have to undergo any operation at the moment.2. Enlarged lymph nodes generally have an underlying medical reason, chronic illness, infections / inflammations.3. First thing you have to get them in control and then the lymph nodal enlargement will go on its own. (first rectify your uric acid level)4. The criteria for enlarged lymph node is more than 2 cm AP (anterior-posterior) measurement. 5. So now take an appointment with your GP and get the underlying problems treated. Good luck. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
