[|Human|] Hi. I am a 30 y.o woman. I have swollen lymph node in right side of my neck ( near carotid artery) since 4 years ago. I went to Dr at that time and my monospot test was positive. And they told me that I maybe have it for a year. The size is about 13mm. I don t have any other complaint or weight loss! What should i do now? Thanks a lot
[|AI|]  HI! Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor!In my opinion I feel there is nothing to worry. Monospot is a rapid test, astrophile test for Epstein Barr virus. I agree with your physician as it is self limiting disease. If the nodes are painful you can take analgesics/anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  You can also undertake an ultrasound-guided FNAC of the node for cytology/ZN smear & Mycobacterial culture to rule out other disease. Take care!
