HiI have just woken up, and noticed that a lymph node on the right side of my neck is swollen. A week or so ago, I had a swollen one just behind my ear, on the same side if I remember correctly My tonsils were giving me some trouble a few months ago, and I had anti-biotics to rid my infection, perhaps it is coming back? My dentist recommended that I had my tonsils removed quite some time ago, but another dentist I visited said that he would only consider removing them if I had persistent problems with them.So perhaps the swollen lymph node is something to do with this. I m 20 years of age, my diet has been somewhat poor the last couple of weeks, but otherwise I would say I am quite healthy in general.Thank you.
