back on july i had streptococcus i took factive and it went away but after 3 weeks my throat started to feel like heart burning, my left tonsil got bigger,.... and a strange stop appeared on my neck ... i went to the doctor he gave me mpore antibiotics... it went away but came back after 2 weeks...finally my doc gave me penicilline and it got a lot better but it came back again and looks the same as before and it hurts too
the did a cultive(i'm not sure how the test is called) and they check for streptococcus but they both were negative
I'm not sure if i should go back to the doctor because he doesnt know what i have and he said that it will go away eventually but it's been about 3 weeks n it looks the same
any comments?

Sounds to me like you need to find a new doctor. Get some other opinions.

You should get a blood test to see if your White Blood Cell count is high, which means you could have an infection.
Lymph nodes commonly swell after infection and can last for a few weeks. Is it moveable or not? Is it tender or not?
If it is tender, it is probabaly just the infection clearing out. If it is not tender, it could possibly be something that would need further investigation, like a biopsy of the node to make sure it's okay.

Have you considered HIV testing to rule that out?
