Hello, my name is Alison. I seem to have swelling in the lymph nodes on the back of my neck that has Ben going on around two months, it is also pretty painful around that area. I have also had burning in my stomached along with nausea. I have no energy and have lost weight recently. My doctor has treated me for a ulcer and gave me antibiotics on two occasions for ten day periods. The swelling and sickness would begin to subside and then return within a few days of stopping the antibiotics. He ordered an ultrasound of my neck and said if he saw nothing and it didn t subside in a few more weeks he would do a biopsy. I feel like its some sort of infection, I feel horrible. Could this be meningitis?
Hi Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorSign of meningitis is neck stiffness is common which is not present in you. And you have a swelling in neck since last two months so I think it could not be a \"Meningitis\". In every case of swelling which is not subside by antibiotic course needs biopsy. Nausea and Burning sensations are the side effect of antibiotics. Plesase contact to your doctor and discuss about it he/she will add some medicine to control your burning sensations
