swollen lymph node in neck after tonsiltis

by toniascared, Mar 09, 2009 11:59AM
hi guys,

12 days ago i had chills, malaise and and a fever of 38.6c.

2 days later i woke up with a swollen tonsil with pus and very back ache in throat.
went to the ent who prescrived antibioti for 10 days MAXINLIN 500 and an antinflammatory
NIMELIDE for 2-3 days.

i finished the course but i still have a swollen lymph node under that tonsil.

went today again and he said i should again take antiinflam meds for another 2-3 days.
but i hate them cause i know they are very bad for your kidneys.

do you know if it would be dangerous if i dont take them.
and also if anyone knows what exactly is a swollen lymph node ? does it have pus in it ?

thanks
