Hi Lisa,

Ofcourse you are scared! Who of us wouldn't be. But it's more than likely that the swollen lymphnode can be attributed to the infection. Any scary symptom that doesn't go away within two weeks should be checked by your doc. So give it another week and give the antibiotics a chance to do their work. The lymph node will probably be back to normal by then.

Hang in there!

Hugs

Jacqueline
