When sshould i notice a change in my lymphnodes while on antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Takes time: If the nodes are enlarged on an infectious basis or a single node large because it is abscessed, it will take a few days to build up abx in the blood and stop new germs. By the end of a few days the nodes should be stable while it may take 2 weeks for them to start shrinking.
