A member asked:
Swollen lymph node (occpt)/3 weeks/antibiotics didn't help/off-on fever (gp said it was a virus)/no appetite/no longer painful/night sweating/concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually benign: Lymph nodes/glands which may persist after an infection- bacterial, viral, fungal. Occasional, skin infection in the surrounding area can cause this. If it remains stable, you'll be fine. If it gets bigger and increase in number, get a second opinion. Ibuprofen(if you have no allergy) may shrink it. Hope you feel better!
