I have a swolen lymph node about 2cm (3/4 inch) onder my chin, I have done blood tests, ct scan and x-ray. ?

Question

It is ther for 2 and a halve month. It is not painfull. the doctor says my blood tests are fine. He told me to go for a biopsy. I lost my job - no insurance. Is there a way to get it fixed without any costs? It is not painful. Do I have to worry about it and hope it will go away? Is there a natural medication that can work?

Please give me advice.

If it were me I'd work on getting another job with good medical insurance ASAP. Can you go to the dentist? Many swollen nodes are due to an infected or impacted tooth and if this is the cause you may not need a biopsy after the bad tooth is fixed. If you get frequent sinus infections this could also be the cause of the swollen node.

Your swollen lymph node is most likely a byproduct of a past or current low grade infection but in any case going for any length of time without insurance is very dangerous in this day and age. 75% of bankruptcies are caused by a bout of serious illness. Get back to being employed and fully insured while you are not feeling ill.

Hopefully you just have a bad tooth. No natural product will make your swollen node go away - just relieve you of your spending money. Pay for seeing the dentist and getting some x-rays instead.
