What To Do For The Swollen Lymph Node Of Mine?
Hi, I recently went to an urgent aid doctor for what appeared to be a swollen lymph node a few days ago. She perscribed my ammoxicillan, and so far I see no results. The large mass on my neck is still there, and I have had frequent headaches/migranes and dizzy spells. Any idea whats wrong with me?

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
If the lymph node is not responding to antibiotic therapy, you should get a biopsy / FNAC done to rule out Tubercular Lymphadenitis.
Also, get Hemogram with ESR , Xray Chest.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
