Hello Dr. Rynne, Iam a 53 yr old, post menopause women. I have a swollen lymph node that is raised and tender. It is located on the back of my neck,below my right ear but more on the base of my head towards the spine. I have been doing warm compresses and I am on an antibiotic since Thursday. The gland seems to be effecting my neck muscles. I have been having sweats also, but not sure if it's hot flashes. How long should I wait before seeing doctor again? The lymph node is hard feeling.
