Swollen Neck Glands, 99.6 Temp, Dry Swollen Sinus In Maxillary Face, Headache, Diarrhea. Treatment?
I have had swollen neck glands, a temp of 99.6,dry swollen sinus in maxillary face-above the nose-and in back of my head,headache for 10 days and have been on amox-Clav 875 mg for 3 days. I still feel as bad as the first day and now I have diarrhea. Is this a bacterial or viral thing? How long will it last? And what can I do to help the uncomfortable symptoms?

The swollen neck glands suggestive of viral infection. For which your doctor prescribed you antibiotics. Afterward you are started with diarrhea is due to the side effects of drugs which can be due to any antibiotics. So you can continue with the same antibiotics for another 2-3 days + add NSAIDs to reduce pain and inflammation, Voveran
