A member asked:

Mono 2 years ago. since then the lymph nodes under my jaw are always swollen. and i am pretty sure i have chronic tonsillitis. are they connected?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

can be both: Mono can sometimes leave the neck nodes swollen for a long time. If indeed it is tonsillitis you will need antibiotics or your tonsils removed. You need to see an ENT specialist to be sure.
