hi.my name is judy, 22 years old,63 Kg.i have two swollen lymph nodes on my neck 1 week after i got stung by a bee on the neck. they are not tender and move when i touch them. are they swollen because of the sting or should i get tested for something else?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain swollen lymph nodes in neck seems to be most probably due to infection and inflammation in the areas drained by those particular group of lymph nodes.. As you have got a bee sting on neck the swollen lymph nodes can be due to allergic reaction to the toxic substance released by the bee sting.. As the lymph nodes are mobile they does not seems to be due to any serious cause.. You can take a short course of antibiotics like Amoxicillin, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm compresses over the lymph nodes.. In case if you do not find improvement in 2 weeks consult a General Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Biopsy or FNAC can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
