Hi,I have a lymphnode on my left chin under the ear about the size of the lime.Doctors did ultrasound and biopsy , They said it s not cancer and gave antibiotics.I have been taking this antibiotics for 4 days and don t see any difference and Iam scared . Will it get cured or need surgery? If I need surgery is it safe to take because I have high blood pressure and Iam 65 years old.

Hi
You might be having a chronic lymph nodal infection because of which your lymph node may take longer duration to get reduced in size. Since already a biopsy has been done and cancer has been excluded there is no need to worry. But you need a complete ENT examination to rule out a focus of infection or primary anywhere else.....
