Question: I went on vacation in Florida where i layed on the beach for three days .out of nowhere i woke up extremely congsted and developed a cold/chest congestion.two days later I got back to TN & noticed a mosquito like bite on my ankle.after itching it ,more started appearing slowly. I had pulled several ticks of me as well , a week before fl.now my inguinal lymph nodes are enlarged and my throat feels like something is constantly stuck in it,worse when swallowing and my epiglottis looks like it is stuck upwards.My throat has really been irritating me and the discomfort won't go away.

Thank you for your advise:)
I saw a dermatologist who prescribed me an antibiotic.since taking the anti-biotics I've only gotten worse.he stated that I was bitten by no-seeums or sand flys.I have not followed up with the doctor and was concerned about my lymph nodes getting larger even though I am on an anti-biotic...do you recommend giving The antibiotic more time or should I follow up with my doctor even though he did not mention a follow up...I am only being cautious due to a close friend passing away last year from rocky mountain spotted fever with no rash and flu like symptoms,enlarged lymph nodes and taking an antibiotic then died 4 days later after she started the medication.

Please advise what you recoommend is necessary.

Thankk Youu
