About 2 weeks ago I woke up with the whole
right side of my neck was sore so I
thought it was just stiff neck but a few
days later it ended up being a lump. I
had an ultra sound done and they said it
ws my limpnoes swollen they put me on an
antibiotic and the knot is smaller but is
not completely gone they said in a couple
of weeks when I go for a check up they
will decide surgery what kind of surgery
could that be?

Your lymphnodes also swell when you have
mononucleousis(aka kissing diesease) they
should have ran blood work on you first,
surgery is not needed for swollen
lymphnodes..
In english...Lymphnodes fuction is
basically a trash can, white blood cells
bring bacteria/virus to the lymphnodes
where they are basically eaten lol!! So
when there swollen its ually a sign of
illness whether it be virus or bacterial..
....I would honestly get a second
opinion cause I had swollen nodes for over
3 months and it went away with mono
~good luck~

Omg bad topic for me....They took some if
my lymph nodes out but it turned out I had

it....Request the mono test first.

Hi there! They might be doing a biopsy,
or possibly draining them. Make sure
that you talk to your dr and I do not know
how many months pregnant you are but make
sure he knows that you are so that the dr
or anesthesiologist will not give you
something that will hurt the fetus. I
do kind of agree about getting a second
opinion but their are plenty reasons that
your lymph nodes could be swelling in your
neck, mono and strep are just two of the
reasons but I do agree, make sure that
they run a mono test on you.
Good luck!
Keepus posted!

True could be something worse I had mono 3
times I have also had strep and laryngitis
where my lympnodes were swollen so
honestly get them to diagnose what you
have first and then make an educated
decesion after. When I had mono the
third time my spleen was enlarged(hurt
like hell) but they told me I would need
to have it removed I got a second opinion
and they said as long as it doesnt rupture
im fine honesyl do what you think is best.
