lump in throat swollen gland or swollen lymph node ? Posted: 02-21-08 23:34pm
around october i noticed a lump in my
throat..everyone said it was just a
swollen gland. in december, it was still
there and started to get worried about so
i went to the doctor and she said i was
fighting a long infection from a past sore
throat. i took antibiotics for 10 days but
the lump is still there.
now ive had the lump for 5 months, went to
an ear, nose, throat doctor and he said it
was a swollen lymph node and i should get
a blood test for mono. he gave me
amoxicillin to take for 10 days; i am on
the 4th day and havent noticed anything
different yet.
the lump usually doesnt hurt me, sometimes
i forget its even there. although some
mornings i wake up with a little sore
throat but only on the side with the lump.
but most of the time it doesnt bother me.
does anyone have any other ideas of what
this could be? i think about
this constantly and would just like the
right answers and treatment to get over
this.
