Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lymph node swelling in the neck . The symptoms can also occur due to bacterial and viral infection , tonsillitis or lymphadenopathy, it is not a serious condition and when you will take medication for treating the infection like antibiotics the swollen lymph nodes will resolve gradually. You should consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated and get tested for bacterial infection and viral infection to rule out the exact cause of infection and treatment can be planned accordingly. But in case if the swelling does not subside consult a physician and he can advise you to get a Biopsy of the lymph nodes done for confirming the cause and can treat you accordingly. As of now do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lymph nodes. Doctor may also recommend tonsillectomy . Doc warm saline gargles and apply warm compresses on neck.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
