Hi,

I've has recurrent episodes of tonsillitis since I was very young. I had quinsy in Dec 2019 and was hospitalised. I got tonsillitis for the first time in a year and a half in Sept 2021 and spent next 2 weeks with tonsillitis continually coming back and 3 x antibiotics. It didn't get rid of it and I left it to go away on its own. I've had a swollen lymph node in my neck on the right side ever since. At the time of the tonsillitis, both lymph nodes were swollen. Sometimes it gets really big, other times it's tiny. I've had it checked by doctor who says it's a reactive lymph node and checked my weight just in case I lose any and asked me about night sweats. I've had none of that. If I get a similar tonsillitis infection now it's only on one side. I've noticed it's bigger than the other. I am freaking out.

Any thoughts on this please - I can't stop crying.
