What Causes Constant Swelling In The Neck Despite Taking Medication?

hi there, i have a question on symptoms involving swollen neck gland. I was diagnosed with an infected tonsil, and given an antibiotic - which i finished. My tonsil looks normal and the lymph node swelling has gone down, but its still slightly swollen and very stiff. Is this normal? should i have a follow-up appointment?

hi

If the lymph node does not decrease in size , visit your doctor. You might need a biopsy depending on
how it feels.
