Hi,
I have had a swollen lymph node in my neck for nearly 2 months. I had a blind pimple there when I first noticed the lump.
I went to the doctor about it last week and she sent me for an ultrasound which showed several mildly enlarged nodes in that area.
I was given a course of Anti biotics and finished those this morning. I went back to my GP yesterday as she requested and she is happy just to let it go for now and keep an eye on it.
When I originally saw the GP about it (a different one then normal at the same practice) she wanted me to get a needle biopsy if the lump was still there after the anti biotics.
The lump is definitely still there, though sometimes it does feel smaller to me.
I am so very scared that something is terribly wrong with me (yet again!) and not sure if I should go back to my GP and demand we follow it up now and get some answers as to why there are a few swollen.
I am just so damn sick of worrying. Please help me!
