I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck on the right side, more in the throat area. they hurt to touch and are putting pressure on my right ear. Went to the clinic and she tested for mono but it was negative. Gave me steroids and didnt know what it is from, said didnt look like infection in sinuses.
Hello, Swollen lymph nodes are not necessarily a problem. They could stay swollen for up to 6 months after a nonspecific viral infection and is called reactive lymphadenitis. After 6 months, if this persists, or worsens you could consider getting an ultrasound done. In the meantime, do not worry yourself and undergo multiple tests for the same. It is a slippery slope with Hun Chat Doctor.  So, in the meantime, relax. If you have an active infection, get that treated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
