I have suffered from tonsillitis and during that time the glands behind my ears were swollen. That was not the problem bc I knew why they were there but the thing is that the glands are still swollen even though tonsillitis is gone. Should I consider this being a problem?

Hello! You shouldn’t be worried if you don’t feel any soreness anymore. It happens often that the nodes don’t return to their normal size weeks after the infection has cleared. But, if you happen to develop following symptoms, you should call your GP. When your glands don’t get smaller after several weeks or continue to get larger, when they are red and tender, and hard, and if you develop fever and night sweats.
