Lymph node in right side of neck will not go down, so swollen. i've been on 4 different antibiotics. i could only feel it when i push on it. bad?

Lymph node: How long have you had this? Most upper respiratory infections that cause "swollen glands" are viral and will NOT respond to antibiotics. If it's been present for several months - a little more concerning. Has it gotten bigger? If so and if you have had it for a long period of time, you might consider having a biopsy - check with your doctor first. Good Luck
