My son tested oitive for Estein Bar Virus some time back, noted the last few weeks that he has a swollen gland, doctor has asked him to do a Ultra sound
right retroauricular region , he said that it is better to take it out if it tuns out to be a cyst later there can be infections. Anyway waiting to do ultra sound first before making any decision.
Jalene why did you take the lymh nodes out and how old were you then was it causing any roblems did ya have a ultra sound done before they decided to take it out and are you having any roblems now. My sons ultra sound is on Tuesday . He is also comlaning of tightness in neck area, doctor said his throat looks red and slighly swollen and ut him on antibiotics but he says it hasnt done much, also he says his throat is dry and drinks water secially when he wakes u in the morning.
Not sure if he breathes through his mouth in the night and thats why he feels like that
Anyway good luck and will kee you osted
cheers

I had several lymph nodes removed from my neck many years ago; I personally would not advise it unless absolutely necessary as they serve a purpose.
I have several swollen lymph nodes in my neck. The doctor doesn't know why. Did you end up getting your's removed?
