Since yesterday evening, I have a swollen and painful lymph node in my neck. Should I go see a doctor?

If you have a swollen and painful lymph node in your neck since last night, it is advisable to monitor your symptoms closely. It is recommended to see a healthcare professional if you experience other symptoms such as fever, persistent cough for more than 3 weeks, or white deposits on your tonsils. A swollen lymph node can be a sign that your body is fighting off a virus, such as a cold.
