A: Swollen lymph nodes suggest infection. They don’t have to be sore or tender as well, just swollen. This doesn’t necessarily indicate that there’s throat involvement unless your throat is sore. The purpose of the lypmphatic system is to filter out viruses, bacteria, anything that may cause infection from lymph, the fluid inside the lymphatic system. Lymph nodes are all over the body and those in the neck service the entire head and neck, not just the throat.Your body may take care of this on its own. It’s working on it. After all, that’s what the immune system is for. Help it along with a good diet and plenty of rest, no alcohol. Did you have specimens collected for any other tests while you were at your doctor’s office??? Stay in touch with your doctor for advice.

A: Lymph nodes which are swollen are usually a sign of infection. Sometimes the body can fight the infection, in which you don’t get sick and the lymph nodes go back to normal size. Other times you get sick, and you have to go to a doctor. Slight fever eh? Seems like you’re going to need to go to a doctor anyway. Especially if the fever gets a little higher each day. This is a sign of a bacterial infection. You’ll most probably need to get on some antibiotics. Some soup and orange juice wouldn’t do you any harm either. You can take tylenol or ibuprofen for the fever….just follow the label directions. But I think you need to be seen by a doctor. That way you’ll feel better sooner. I hope you feel better really soon, and wish you the best of luck. If you go to the doc, send me a message and tell me what’s up.
