Why Do My Lymph Nodes Swell Every Five To Seven Days?

My lateral lymph nodes constantly swell every five to seven days, then go away for a few days and then start again. They started swelling up two days ago and now my throat is sore to the touch, especially on the throat, where an adams apple would be for a male. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swollen lymphnodes can be because of any infection in the head and neck region. Since you are telling you have throat soreness, it can be secondary to throat infection. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician or an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling.
If there is no reduction in the symptoms then get an FNAC done to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
