Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your neck swelling.

Yes you can take the same medication for what seems to as per your history is either lymphadinitis or tonsillitis.

The proper dosage will be twice daily instead of once for five days but my opinion is you must consult your physician before taking it.

The swelling can also be the blocked submandibular salivary gland too. You need to be better diagnosed before taking the antibiotic medication.

Hope my answer will help you and write us back in case you need any further assistance.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
