MedHelp Member's Question

Please Clarify

by ven321, Jul 15, 2008 12:33AM

Hi,

I have sorethroat for about 6 weeks now, my doctor has diagonised me and said Its an Viral Infection and my tonsils are partially red. I am currently using antibiotics to cure from last 3 days. I have question here does Lymphnodes & Tonsils are the same?? When people say Lymphnodes are swollen does it mean tonsils??

Please clarify...Thanks in advance

If you have a concern see your doctor. You did not have a risk of contracting HIV and this is an HIV forum.
