Hey everybody had a question to ask.

I was tested positive for mono about three years ago.

Well about five months ago i started have swelling on both sides of my neck and its two swollen lymph nodes. They're pretty small, mobile, and as mentioned bi-lateral. They haven't gotten bigger, and i don't show symptoms of anything serious like cancer but thats what i've been afraid of.

Well last month I was able to see an ENT,and he felt my lymph nodes and asked if I had mono before in the past. He said he believes that my lymph nodes are being re-active due to another mono flare-up, and that once you get mono it never leaves your body, but just becomes dormant until it flares up again.

I'm only a 21 year old male, and no other doctors I've seen seem to think it's anything serious either. Can mono whether it's just a flare up or not make lymph nodes swollen that long?

Like I said earlier, im more fearful of something more serious, but I dont show any symptoms. However, I have heard of people being asymptomatic. Any advice is much appreciated.
