What Causes Swollen Glands And Stiff Neck While On Penicillin For Infection?
I had a bacterial infection a week and a half ago and was put on penacillin. Beginning Sunday, while still on the Penacillin, my glands are really swollen and the right side of my throat hurts, my neck feels stiff and I feel week. I do not ahave a fever. They did test me a week and a half ago for Mono and strep and I had niether. Not sure what I am dealing with.

Hi,
It seems that bacterial infection is resistant to penicillin so does not respond with this antibiotic.
Go for another antibiotic medicine course or go for throat swab for type of bacteria and antibiotic sensitive to this strain of bacteria.
After report go for long treatment of specific antibiotic medicine course.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Go for antiseptic gargles.
Ok and take care.
