I am currently being treated for an infection with ciprofloxacin. 2 days of a 7 day prescription. Once the fever broke and the body aches went away, I noticed throat hurting more and glands on neck right under back of jaw are extremely swollen. And painful. They normally are slightly noticable(I had my tonsils out when I was 5) and they have been that way for 4 decades! But I just want to be sure that after a few more days on the antibiotic this will probably clear up?? They are the size of large grapes, and very painful. Thanks for some reassurance?
Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor. Lymph node enlarges in response to infection, they are the policeman of our body, trap infecting agent and in this work they increase in size. Antibiotic treatment will treat your infection and not the NODE.this node will regress in size after eradication of infection, but I am sorry to say that rarely they reach to their normal size, but I assure you that they will decrease in size up to the level that do not cause any discomfort to you. Further I suggest you to take Tablet of Diclofenac sodium 50 mg with Serratiopeptidase 10 mg orally after meal 2 times a day. It will decrease soft tissue swelling and help in decreasing size of your node also. Hope you would be satisfied with my answer.  Feel free to communicate if any query.regards, Chat Doctor.
