I have got my lymph nodes swollen around my neck for 3 weeks. I had my wisdom tooth extraction more than a month back. My lymph nodes are paining also a little now. My doc has prescribed me duet 625mg daily for 7 days for this. Its been 2 days I am taking this but still the swelling has not gone down.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The lymph nodes may not completely resolve during the course of your antibiotic therapy though there should be some improvement. It can sometimes take up to 6 weeks for lymph nodes to completely return to normal. In addition to the use of the antibiotics, you can also consider the anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen, Catalan, naproxen, aspirin. These may speed up resolution. I hope this helps
