Doctor cannot figure out why but i am pretty sure i still have a bacterial infection but doctor does not think so, what should i do? (Occasional sore throat, bumps at the back of my throat, and neck under chin and groin lymph nodes are swollen) (blood work all normal)

Hi welcome to HCM
Going through your history , I understand that you have Lymph node in groin chin and neck. Blood test can't be helpful to work out about lymph node. There is only test Fine needle aspiration cytology test is required . The possibilities of swollen Lymph nodes are
1 most common unknown origin no need of treatment or High dose of Antibiotic therapy to dissolved according to report.
2. Tuberculosis if material is granulomatous or necrotic with presence of AFB or not.
3. Cancer - Need further investigations .
Thanks
