I have painful lymph nodes after drinking wine and it was not a lot and I'm worried it's lymphoma, they're swollen in groin and neck and I saw the dr the other day and she said she felt it and nothing to worry about but they were there, so worried as I Google if they hurt after drinking without lymphoma and I can't find it to reassure me

Given alcohol's suppressive effect on the immune system, a regular drinker might experience an impaired immune response. As a result, their body might struggle to combat illnesses, leading to more frequent or prolonged swelling of the lymph nodes in response to infections

Thank you I'm not a regular drinker I haven't drank for over a year

My DM had lymphoma and she also enjoyed wine at times and never mentioned this. Infection causes tender lymph nodes. Hers were never painful.
