Swollen lymph node
Hi,
It's more than 6 weeks, i have still swelling on the right side of my neck. I had antibiotics but it didn't work. Whenever i wake up in the morning, this place is tight and tender to touch. Throughout the day the swelling lessens but again the next morning the same scenario.
Is it swollen lymph node or SCM ?
Please help
