What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Neck?

default
Posted on Wed, 12 Apr 2017
Question: Hi, I have been on antibiotics and steroids for the past three weeks, all trying to cure symptoms of illness. Still feeling exhausted with very very swollen neck, as well as enlarged, palpable lymph nodes above my collar bone. Is this something more, or am I being paranoid?

Also difficulty breathing

Infection

Hello and thank you for asking

After three weeks on antibiotic and steroids its logical that you are felling exahusted.

The other symtomps like palpable lymp nodes and swollen neck are due to infection passed,it need some time to adjust.

I will suggest you.
