Question 1

symptoms: internal lumps along left side of neck (swollen, slightly painful to touch), drowsiness/fatigue, swelling in face, no fever or sore throat?

Accepted Answer

Glands: I cannot tell by your symptoms alone without examining you.But the first thing that comes to mind is possibly mono. But there are many other possibilities so i would suggest you see you doctor.

Question 2

what happens if neck swollen and tonsils swollen all red in throat 
do i have to get swollen?

Accepted Answer

See MD: See MD now. Get to ER or MD or clinic ASAP. You do not fool around with neck/throat swelling. Get seen and diagnosed so you can be properly treated and get well. Take no chances -- get going now. Good Luck.

Question 3

treated for tonsillitis but whole throat/tonsils swollen & red. glands in neck swollen too after 20 days. should it get worse to get better?

Accepted Answer

Culture: If the tonsils are red and swollen for 20 days and an antibiotic has been unsuccessful I would strongly recommend a culture of the throat to rule out a viral infection or a specific bacterial infection.  Finally, infectious mono needs to be ruled out.  No it should not get worse before it gets better.  You need a specific diagnosis. See an ENT doctor.

Question 4

can an infection in the mouth possibly from a cavity make the neck swollen?

Accepted Answer

Mouth infection: Yes, the infection can cause the lymph gland in your neck tonswell.

Question 5

i have had a right swollen tonsil for 10 years now and a lump on the right side of my neck under the skin that moves and doesnt hurt and no pain. ?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Many things can cause a tonsil to swell, even persistently. The lump on the right side of your neck suggests that you might have lymph nodes reacting to whatever's causing the tonsil problem. That lump might also be the lymph nodes reacting to a problem in the neck or upper chest. A thorough examination, imaging, and possibly a biopsy are advisable. Please make an appointment to get these things.

Question 6

right tonsil is swollen but not that much and lump in the neck it is been 2 weeks and it didn't shrink to normal.no other symptoms. what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check throat: New throat symptoms or upper neck lymph node symptoms can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies, irritants, or stomach acid reflux. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat).

Question 7

i have white lumps on my tonsils and a swollen neck. my doctor wants to order a mono test for me as i have come in contact with it. if i vaped thc 2 days ago, will it show up on the test?

Accepted Answer

If tested for: It will. The best way to avoid embarrassment and establishing a trustworthy relationship with your doc would be to let them know of recent THC use.

Question 8

one tonsil swollen, painful. had a fever today. painful lump on neck right where the tonsil is. hurts to swallow and breathe. overall body ache.

Accepted Answer

Could be strep. : Most cases of acute pharyngitis in adults are caused by respiratory viruses or Streptococcus bacteria. In the presence of fever, lymphadenopathy, swollen tonsils, and absence of cough, it is worth being checked for strep throat and starting antibiotics if positive. 
If one is having difficulty swallowing and managing one’s secretions, or having any respiratory distress, it is a medical emergency.

Question 9

gland on right side of neck swollen. what is the problem?

Accepted Answer

Have it evaluated: A swollen gland or lymph node should be evaluated by your doctor. You need to check if there are other lymph nodes that are swollen. It may just be an infection, but you want to make certain that it is not a manifestation of something more serious like lymphoma. These are cancers that localize in the lymph nodes. Many types are very treatable when caught early.

Question 10

is that ok?

Accepted Answer

Swollen neck: No it does not sound ok. Are there other symptoms like fever, possible tooth abcess, glandular infection. I would have it checked again asap.
