I don't have any signs of infection. No chills , fever. The lymph nodes are movable. Not tender. 2. Size of grape. I am in good health. No med conditions. 43 year old female I have had these same injections for the past 2-3 years Do you think this is related to the fillers/ botox? Who should I consult?
