A member asked:

Right occipital node swollen and tender. no fever. was on antibiotics in january for same node.meds worked, chest xray came back normal in february.

Below: I would suggest going back to the DR who saw you in Jan. You may need additional antibiotics, or if the node does not go away--a BX may be necessary.
