Unlikely: Occipital nodes drain the scalp on the top and back of head. If the strep recurred try changing antibiotic to Cephalexin or clindamycin, or a longer course of pcn.

Two weeks ago I was given penicillin for an ear infection and my tonsils were extremely swollen; I tested negative for strep type A. I finished my 10 days of medicine and my tonsils are still pretty large but no sore throat or fever. It's awkward to drink
