Thanks for the info, maybe he was right and it is just tonsillitis. The antibiotics I am taking are for a hair follicle infection that is nearly gone but it was on my bikini line. He gave me another prescription to stay on the antibiotics for another 10 days.
Hi
A lymph node swelling in the upper neck under the jaw, can be due to tonsillitis, an infection in gums, pyorrhea, caries tooth, dandruff in hair etc. A single node signifies a local cause. Lymph nodes do swell in generalized problems like glandular fever, tuberculosis, cancer etc but generally several are involved. What were you taking antibiotics for? Was it for an infection in the head and neck area?
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.
