Lymphoma?? Help

Hi everyone,

I am worried about having Lymphoma because a couple of some symptoms are showing. BTW, I am 15 y/o and during my yearly check-up my doctor told me that at my age having swollen lymph nodes are fairly common. Also, when the second condition came up, I was 12 y/o and had gotten the flu. Since then I have gotten 2 colds but nothing since the flu.

First of all, the first thing I realized is 2 swollen lymph nodes under my chin (I think Submandibular). It is on both sides of my neck, do not hurt, not hard and move some if I touch it. They have been around for about 2 or so months and IDK why.\

Second, I have a condition called Cold Hives. It is a condition when hives form on the skin after cold exposure, whether to cold air or water. My case isn't severe so if I am in cold water or freezing temps, I am gonna be fine, but maybe get hives anyway. I have heard from google that Cold Hives can be a very rare manifestation of Lymphoma so that got me worrying too. I don't believe that my condition is gluten related but it may be.

Also my family does not have a history of this and I am pretty young so odds are that I do not have Lymphoma but it is always good to make sure.

If anyway has any insight on this before I see a doctor I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.
