No, I'm not positive it is a lymph node. Also, my boyfrend is a student nurse and he said it felt normal but I'm still a little worried.
are you sure it's a lymph node? by the way you should also gargle with salt water helps with the problem of being sick will cut the duration of being sick. give it a few days if not better then see a doctor. Should the doc. give you an antibiotic make sure when you finish the antibiotic
make sure you buy a good refrigerated type probiotic from a health food store.
