Hello.

9 days ago i had chills and fever. Then i felt a swollen lymph node on the right side. This is normal for me. So i figured i'm fighting something. Fever continued. Then 5 days later, i noticed that my eyelid is swollen and now i have multiple swollen lymph nodes on my neck, on the right hand side.

I went to the doctor. We did the following tests and the results are:

Chest xray - negative. No swollen lymph nodes there.
Blood work - negative. white blood cell count, hemoglobin, etc all normal
neck ultrasound - tyroid normal. Shows multiple swollen lymph nodes.
urine analysis - waiting for results.

I saw a ENT specialist. He checked my nose, throat with a scope. He said the throat is all clear. The lymph nodes do NOT feel like lymphoma. Their shape is oval and they don't 'feel' cancerous. He put me on Biaxin for 2 weeks. I just took my second dose.

I'm really worried because the fever persists and my eye lid is now swollen more.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Lorin
