What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes Behind The Back Along With Fever?

I was recently diagnosed with sinusitis. When I went to the doctors I explained that u had been having fevers and night sweats along with constant sharp pains in my head and had a lump under my jaw and by my neck. She claimed it was only one and a swollen lymph node. She said to wait 10days and take the claritin and 600 ibuprofen. Its been longer thw lymph node has gone away but i still have constant body sched fevers and pains and have now grown three quarter sized lumps in the back of my neck.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swollen lymph nodes behind the back along with fever which seems to be due to strep throat which is a bacterial infection. It could be due to increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to panic about it. I would suggest you to

1) Antibiotics are first line of treatment option in this case. In case of mild fever you can take Calpol or paracetamol for relief as well as it will relieve throat pain too.

2) Hot milk with a pinch of turmeric boiled with it at bedtime for 2-3 days as it has antimicrobial action.

3) Avoid spicy and rough food. Take diet rich in soft food.

4) Sip on lukewarm water and take throat lozenges.

5) Take anti inflammatory drugs such as Levocetirizine.

If symptoms keeps on persisting visit pediatrician once and get it examined. Maintain oral hygiene. Take proper course of antibiotics. Get blood tests done if required.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
