Hello Dr
Thanks for your query.You have cervical lymphadenitis mostly secondary to Pharyngitis for which you have taken antibiotics and all your symptoms have subsided Since your ESR is high and if the cervical lymph nodes are still enlarged It is better to get lymph node Biopsy done to rule out Tubercular Lymphadenitis which is common in our country.
