Q: Swollen Lymphnodes

I recently have had a bad sore throat. The severity of it has decreased but it still persists when I don't take sudafed. I encoutered the sore throat last monday. About 3 days ago a felt a lympnode swell on the side of my neck, and about 2 days ago another on top of that swelled. I also have an ache/pain at the bottom of my right shoulder blade. I went to the doctor, he prescribed me penicillin which I can't recieve until my insurance clears a problem. I'm not worried because the lymphnode is moveable and tender. Anyone have any expierence with this and have any insight?

It is a good thing that the lymph node is moveable and somewhat tender. It is probably nothing more than a simple infection. When mine got swollen, I could feel them every time I swallowed, and it made swallowing the worst torture ever. The doc gave me prednisone, which reduced the swelling to nothing in about 4 days, give it a try.

And I see that I just replied to an almost year old post.
