I have had a a virus or possible bacterial infection for the past two weeks. It started with sore throat, swollen lymph node (right side neck only) stuffy nose, fever, headache, and tiredness. After about 3-4 days the fever went away as did the headache and the sore throat. It started to flip flop between runny nose and stuffy nose. On the 7th day i went to the Dr. I started having bad nausea and some bowel issues. My white blood count was a little high (11.9) and the lymph node on the right side was still swollen so the dr gave me Doxicyclin anti biotic.
I took this for three days and went for a re check because i was still nauseated and lymoh node still swollen. They switched me to Amoxycillin. I have now been on it for 5 days and my right lymph node is STILL the same size. No fever, no more upper respitory symptoms. Just nausea that is worse in the AM and the swollen lymph node.
How long does it take for your lymph node to go down? not painful just swollen. Any ideas?

it may take upto 2 weeks to go down, hang in there as long as you don't have any new symptoms. if it persists or worsens then go back to the doctor, good luck

it somewhat is going to be a lymph node because of the fact they swell up throughout colds and an infection, pretty in the neck. The lymphatic equipment deals with the eliminating of waste, pollution, and sickness inflicting organisms. The node is created from a problematical wall of fibrous tissue and strands noted as trabeculae. Plasma seeps with the aid of capillary partitions and into tissues offering meals and oxygen and could become interstatial fluid. This passes to the lymphatic capillaries. it is filtered with the aid of the nodes (your immune equipment) and due to this they swell up. they're purely coping with the an infection, which proves you're working precise. Dont complication.
