i have been feeling pretty crappy for the last 4 months. i have been going to the doctor and he thinks that i have fibromyalgia. I have had 1 xray of the chest that came back perfectly fine along with 2 ct scans of my chest that came back fine. I had a cbc blood test that came back fine and i have had a brain mri and they all came back normal. i just went to the doctor yesterday because my sinuses were acting up and he said i had a sinus infection and that is why the lymph node on my neck is swollen and tender. what do you think?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . As per your question if you have all the investigations done with normal conclusive reports and if you are suffering from Sinus infection then the swollen and tender lymph nodes in neck are most probably due to infection as the lymph nodes in neck can get inflamed due to infections occurring in head and neck region, and it is nothing abnormal and is a relatively common finding. You need not worry about it and should take the medications like antibiotics and painkillers and other medications like decongestants and saline nasal sprays as advised to you by your doctors. Gradually as the infection will subside the swelling of the lymph nodes will also resolve. You can do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lymph nodes for relief from pain and faster resolution of swelling. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
