What Causes A Swollen Lymph Node After Having High Fever?
My son had a fever that went up to 103.4 during the early afternoon through evening and then it went back down to 100 for a few days along with a sore throat, malaise, and a severe headache. He only threw up a few times at the onset of it. His appetite came back after a day. He has been fine during the day, but at night he gets to sleep very fast from being exhausted. A little over a week later he developed a very swollen left lymph node that hurt yesterday. It seems to be going down today. Could you give me some thoughts as to what it may be. Thanks!

swollen lymph nodes can be there when there is focus of infection like in the throat.Need to take antibiotics for 5days then node swelling and pain will subside.
