Avatar m tn I received fellatio and ejaculated in a girls mouth exactly 1 month and 3 weeks ago. The day after i received it, I had swollen lymph nodes and swollen tonsils. I went to the clinic and the doctor said it was tonsillitis and gave me amoxicillian. Throughout the duration of taking the meds I felt back to normal however, swollen lymph nodes still occurred. 2 days after I finished the anitobiotics, the swollen tonsils came back worse.
Avatar m tn I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck and did get a CT scan and MRI. My ENT is considering my tonsils to be the problem, but wants to do an FNA on one of the surface lymph nodes to determine what the cause of the chronic enlargement is. If you'd rather not have a CT scan due to the radiation, ask your ENT if you can have an MRI, instead.
Avatar f tn Hello - I am wondering how long I should watch a lymph node that is swollen before seeing a doctor. To date its been about a month that I have had a lymph node swollen in my neck. I also have a nose that will not heal. It is always mucousy and sore, its has been this way for over a year. Also when I swallow I feel like I have a lump in there and recently have had a harder time breathing. Like making my bed leaves me a bit winded or even talking.
Avatar n tn I am a 33 year old male, that has had swollen tonsils and lymph nodes in my neck for over 30 days. I have been given a strep test, and a mono spot test, both of which were negative. I also took a prescribed antibiotic which had no affect. A cbc was performed with the mono spot test, and my blood counts were normal. My doctor has told me it is a viral infection, and should work it's way out of my system. Try to consult alabama dermatologist, they're a great help!
Avatar f tn s quite possible she had an infection which caused her tonsils to swell, and like I mentioned, lymph nodes do take time to return to either normal, or almost normal. There are some instances where they never go back to "normal" size. Have her fevers gone away? Is she gaining weight? Does she seem to be behaving like a usual 2 year old? Those are the things I would be watching more than the size of her lymph nodes. Please touch base and keep us posted!
Avatar n tn What is the difference between swollen glands and swollen lymph nodes in the neck?
Avatar m tn What size are lymph nodes before they swell. I believe I can feel them in my jawline though they are only 1cm roughly large. I believe they aren't swollen through infection. Is 1cm there normal size?
Avatar n tn The next day went to gyno, no yeast but higher white blood cells and all symptoms gone by next day. Same time I have swollen neck lymph nodes. Still slightly swollen four days later but now tonsil is also swollen. STD maybe? Neither of us have pain when pee. I have no discharge of any kind! Please help!
Avatar n tn t concerned about the reasons behind the swollen tonsils or neck, and discharged us to walk across the street to see an ENT about the surgery. He has continued to have occasional swollen lymph nodes and has started having severe sinus infections every four months again. His pediatrician wasn't concerned about the second positive active EBV in six months (yes, it showed the past infection too) and the low IgG. I asked for a referral to an Immunologist.....she didn't want to do it.
Avatar n tn About 2 weeks ago the lymph node on the right side of my neck was swollen and painful. There was no fever or any other issue and I didn't think much of it since it went away on it's own in about a day. Now the same lymph node is swollen again and I still don't have a fever. I'm not sure if this is related but about ten years ago I had my tonsils removed. Could this be something serious?
Avatar m tn On Nov.12th I performed fellatio on someone who's HIV status I am not 100% sure is negative. He did not ejaculate in my mouth and no anal penetration occurred. Two days later I woke up with a sore throat and bright green mucus going down the back of my throat. The next day I went to the University health center where I tested negative for the rapid strep test. I went ahead and got the GC done as well just to be safe.
Avatar m tn i used to discover swollen lymph nodes everyday..then i used to go on the net..to see if they are real nodes..etc..etc...dont do this...it will turn u mad....i was seeing a doc at that time and he used to tell its not a node...but in my deep i will not believe it...so forget bout nodes..if ur concern and had a real risk..do a test...
Avatar f tn I am frustrated of repeated attacks. Also my lymph nodes are swollen for 3 months now. I went to the ENT specialist too. but he has no clue too. Any ideas?
Avatar m tn My guess is I have some type of infection that was impacting my head, neck and now throat and tonsils. My harder lymph nodes if correct, also point to that as they drain the tonsils. If it's with my tonsils, then that could be why my nodes beside those are still a little big. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn I have had swollen lympth nodes for years in my neck and the doctor says its nothing but their swollen for a reason right, doesnt it mean im fighting something in my body ? I havent been feeling well for the longest time either. If someone can give me some info that would be great.
Avatar n tn I had a severe cold and tonsils infection in 2010. after a few months i noticed that one of my lymph nodes under my chin was swollen and i have seen a ENT specialist. She initially checked it with touch and said it was too small to be worried about. After about another year in 2012 i didnt have any kind of infection or sickness but a couple of lymph nodes on the side of my neck were swollen to a size of a lentil.
Avatar n tn There is NO pain with swollen lymph nodes due to HIV.
Avatar m tn TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THINGS... abscess: An abscess is a localized collection of pus that generally develops in response to infection. An abscess is typically painful, and it appears as a swollen area that is warm to the touch. The skin surrounding an abscess typically appears pink or red. Abscesses can develop in many parts of the body, but they usually involve the skin surface.
Avatar n tn i have a swollen tonsil that hasn't went away, it's been a month and my body aches. what is it?
Avatar f tn 1-2 weeks ago I developed swollen tonsils with no other symptoms but sore throat, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and basically that was about it. Last week I visited the otolaryngologist and he said it didn`t looked that bad, so he gave me a shot of betamethasone and I've been on clarithromycin for about a week with not much of improvement. Like 3-4 days ago, I've developed White spots in the tonsils and blood mixed with mucus down the back of my throat. Should I be worried?
Avatar f tn I never had fever, or sore/strep throat, lymph nodes, swollen tonsils .. but I'm having back pain, sometimes knees hurt and nausea..
