A member asked:

Hey ive been ill on and off and had the flu early december, i got rid of it a month ago but my chin and neck are tight now, may be swollen lymph node?

Flu: You should have fully recovered from the flu by now. Your current neck symptoms are nonspecific. A physician could examine your neck and order any appropriate tests,if deemed advisable, in order to make a diagnosis.

See your Physician : If the symptoms have lasted this long it would be better that you get it checked out.
