Lymph nodes
Hi,
In January of 2017 I found a enlarged lymph node in my neck (anterior cervical), In the beginning March of 2017 I had a horrible case of strep and had another enlarged lymph node (under my jaw) that never went down. At the end of March I went to the doctor about the two lymph nodes. I had a blood test, everything was normal except I tested positive for EBV indicating a recent mono infection. I had a chest x-ray that was all normal, and an ultra sound of the nodes putting them at 3 x .9 x 2
You seem to be having enlargement of cervical lymph nodes secondary to infectious mono nucleosus infection which is a type of viral infection. If there is no persistent enlargement of nodes then you need not worry. You can get a fine needle aspiration cytology of the node for confirmation of diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
