Woke up today with the cold symptoms, but my neck is really stiff and feels as though it's the nodes, my left ear is sore too and the node underneath that is really sore :( I hate this, have a doctors appointment for friday I'm so worried:(
Yes! At least I would think that a CT Scan would show if it was cancer, tumor, or anything like that! Even if your sinus/throat are clear, the lymph nodes can take a while to go back to normal size!
Do you know if your blood work was tested for thyroid?!? If it was, and came back normal, one less thing to worry!
The fact you are loosing sleep over this and paying attention to the symptoms, makes you feel more things than your body is really showing! Our minds are amazing on playing this tricks on us!
Call your doctor, read the exams again, that might easy our mind a little!
God bless you!
Would the ct scan and blood work rule out things like cancer though? I'm really worried about that can't sleep at night because of it
My sinuses and all were clear in my even though? And it's more my throat now rather than my sinuses it just feels so tight I'm so worried :(
It sounds like you are having a sinus infection! You might need antibiotics to help you fight the infection. My 11 year old is going tru this problem, she is on her second round of antibiotics and her doctor said it can take up to 8-10 weeks for the lymphs to go back to normal! I know telling you not to worry doesn't work! Our health anxiety takes over! I know! But try to relax! Sinus infection can make your lymph nodes swell!
God bless you! And keep us posted!
