Re: lymph node still up!!
Hi, mine have been enlarged for months now.... never seem to go down regardless of antibiotics or steroids. Just had my tonsils out after months of suffering so hopefully they may go down now.... still there as of yet though!
I wouldnt worry too much, its just a sign that your body is fighting a virus or bacteria (nothing serious, just your body doing its bit)... if it doesnt improve in a few weeks go back to gp and see what they say xxx
Re: lymph node still up!!
Thanks jill07 i had my tonsils out a few years ago because of frequent tonsillitis and throat infections. I have a lymph node on the side of my neck thats been raised for years but i have never noticed this one behind my ear before.I often wonder if having glandular fever in my teens is anything to do with it.
Re: lymph node still up!!
Possibly, I think mono stays in your system for a long long time.
I have noticed I too have a node on the back of my neck.... dont think they are anything to worry about really.
Tonsillectomy is a rough op isnt it.... ouch ouch ouch! x
