A member asked:
I have acid reflux and i recently got strep throat but the doctor never identified why i have a lump on my neck .. oral cancers??

Relax-lymph nodes: The more common lymph nodes effected by strep are often called "tonsillar nodes", because they often swell during a throat/tonsil infection.I would look at this as a normal event rather than a scary one. If you are really worried, go back and ask.
