about 3 weeks ago (friday) i discovered a lump on the right side of my neck i had no other symthons but this mystery lump i went straight to my doc who gave me an examination and told me it was a swollen lymph node, prob a viral infection from previous dental work! and to go see my dentist, the following day i had a high fever and headache, i also felt very tired, i didn’t feel like eating ne food for 2 days and my mussels all over my body were acking i also had a very mild sore throat which was only there for a day and also a rash over my chest and stomach which also only lasted a day, i booked an appointment with a different doctor on monday told her of my symthons and told me it was probably a common cold or possibly glandular fever! neither doctors told me to get a blood test done! the lump was big about the size of half a golf ball but seems to have gone down abit since then, however the lump is still there?? painless and hard and i feel fine! im worried i have something more serious? should i go back to the doc adn get a blood test? or how long until this lump goes away? i have no other lumps ne where else as i have been checking regularly in case other lymph nodes have swollen! the lump doesn’t seem to move around much and is more fixed to one spot just under my jaw and its not my gland coz i can feel it next to teh lump

I’m sorry you’re worried, sweetie. I hate when doctors simply blow off a concern this way. It may be just a gland problem. I have had dental work done and have had both glands under and along my jaw line do this for several days afterward. If you are still concerned, find another doctor and demand that you get the treatment you want…the blood test, whatever it is you need. Use http://www.webmd.com to check this out and take your concerns to another Doctor. Try to take it easy and feel better, ok?
