I had Mono two years ago and then over two months ago i started having lumps appear behind my ear then disappear then another one popped up overnight which got very large and very painful. I went to the doctor and had some blood work done. It came back that i have ebstein barr disease. A couple of weeks later a lump on my neck appeared and has been there for 3 weeks now . I took augmentin hoping it would clear it up but it s still there. Just had a ct scan and doctor just told me the scan came back saying multiple small enlarged lymph nodes but none look like abnormalities. She is still insisting on me seeing a ears nose and throat specialist. Why would i have to see a specialist now if they aren t sure of any abnormalities?

these are all lymph nodes and possibly related to the viral infection(s)!
antibiotics won't help much!
in chronic cases lymphoma -like conditions may arise and an FNAC/biopsy test recommended for confirmation
all the best!
