hi there,
I first got sick with what I thought was a sinus infection in late november. it was accompanied by swollen lymph nodes on my neck out the you-know-what--they got HUGE! they eventually went down, and I started taking penicillin for the infection.
I thought it got better but then when I was off in early Jan, they started to swell up again, along with fever, the chills, headaches, and the worst sore throat in the world. The sore throat went away in two days and the swelling stuck around for a bit, but the doctor put me on 14 days of cephalexin to take care of the sinus infection.
I finished the antibiotics earlier this week (yes, I took all of them)...and everything seemed fine until today, when I noticed my cervical lymph nodes were swelling AGAIN....is the infection not gone? is it just residual stuff that's really nothing to be worried about? do I have something more serious?
I know it's not AIDS or cancer..but I don't know what I'm going to do if this sinus infection won't go away! :weep:
