What Causes Swollen Tonsils,lymph Node And Adenoids?
I have swollen tonsils, swollen lymph node on right posterier side of neck, swollen adnoids and my doctor can not find out why. She checked for MONO (which I have had in the past) ( I have also had lyme) I have seen specialist which they only tell me if it is cancerous which they say it is benign. My doctor and I just can not figure this out. These symptoms came about after I had a very bad cold where I lost control of my bladder
