Lymph node swelling
I got a fever a week back. Along with the fever I started feeling pain in my lymph node. As I touched it, I could feel something inside there. I went to doctor he gave me viral medicines. I became well within 3 days. But the pain continued. I regularly applied omnigel on it. Just after 1 week, I again got a bit of fever. I took crocin and slept. Next morning, I saw that the lymph node has swelled and it was paining very much. I went to the doctor he gave me medicines. Like Amoxicillin and combiflame. Why am I having swollen lymph nodes?

Lymph Nodes are our body's biosensors like the multiple sensors in your car. When a particular sensor turns on, it tells your mechanic where the trouble is. Likewise when the lymph nodes swell up, their size, tenderness, texture and location will help the clinician zero in on the problem at hand.
Next Steps
Meet your doctor again and show your doctor these nodes who will do the needful to resolve your problem.
