My teen has had swollen neck lymph nodes for six weeks. What could be the cause?

There are literally several hundred reasons the lymph nodes could be swollen. For real. But six weeks is almost certainly too long a time to go without a professional opinion. Because the causes are so numerous and the problem has persisted for as long as it has, please schedule a consult with a physician. No one who has any knowledge of this issue will disagree. There is no reason to panic, but please make that call. Best of luck sorting this out.
