What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Neck And On The Arm?
I have a swollen lymp gland in my neck. They think it was caused by a bug bit and cellulitis set up. I have finished the antibiotic prescribed. The gland is still swollen. I also notice that there are two knots/maybe glands swollen right inside my arm close to my elbow. Should I go back to the dr?
