Suggest Remedies For Swollen Lymph Node On Left Side Of The Neck
My lymph node on left side of neck is a little swollen. It gets larger when I chew/eat. It is a little tender when touched. I went to see a nurse practitioner last Tuesday and she put me on amoxicillin 350mg twice a day for 7 days. I cannot see any change in my condition.

Hi dear thanks for writing to healthcare Magic.
swelling of lymphnode is definitely a sign of infection, so get your CBC count done , I advise you to take tab azithromycin once a day for 3 days with tab ibuprofen twice a day, also do hot water gargles with povidine iodine. if problem persists consultant ENT surgeon once for clinical examination.
hope this will help you
thanks and regards
