Symptoms
The main symptom of lymphoma is swollen lymph nodes. Swollen lymph nodes that are caused by an infection are usually painful, red and hot, but the swelling subsides after the infection clears up. Any person who has swollen lymph nodes but hasn’t had any symptoms of infection should see a doctor immediately to determine the cause.
