I would go to the ER especially since your piercings are pussing and the lymph nodes are swollen. If the pussing came first then the lymph nodes then leave immediately and go see the doctors.

Sweety, please head str8 to the ER...Right Now! You have a horrible infection. So many piercings and not taking care of them can cause that. Please go before it gets any worse. They will give you some antibiotics and maybe even penicillin. I had a similar experience about a year ago, and I had the exact symptoms as you. Except, I didn't have any pussing piercings. By the time I made it to the ER, I could hardly see, and i was throwing up. Please get there ASAP!

I'm no doctor, but this sounds serious. Don't want to scare you but, swollen lymph nodes does denote an infection. If the infection gets in your blood it could take you down for the count, maybe even permenant KO.

Go right away. I'm not trying to curse you or anything, but my Grandma had lymph node cancer. Once thing I remember from that whole ordeal, is that area of the throat is really hard to operate on. Go in as soon as you can before is swells even more and gets worse.

You might be pregnant. No, seriously you have to call your doctor as soon as possible. This is an infection and you need some antibiotics. In the mean time put some lavender oil to calm the pain locally.

Go to the ER, especially if its getting worse, and gett some antibiotics (and take them to COMPLETION). It's better to have it dealt with sooner than later, especially since you've had it for a week. You run the risk of developing septicemia which is life-threatening.

You should go to the ER now. You could have a very serious infection. I am not kidding.

Yes, you are in serious need of some antibiotics. Get to the ED...it's not going to go away by itself.
