I'm feeling a bit concerned about a swollen lymph node under my chin. It's tender to touch and has been swollen for about 45 days. This isn't the first time it's happened its come up once or twice a year in the same spot but eventually goes away. Im just really tired of dealing with it. I had a head cold about three weeks ago but other than that, I'm a healthy 27-year-old and take pretty good care of myself. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

My dad was admitted about a week ago. His white blood cell count was 16,800, but it's normal now. However, the Widal test came back positive at 1:160. He's on treatment with Pipzo 4.5g injections, Pantop, Ns 500ml, Nurostar injections, and taking Calpol 650 and Cefuroxime 500 twice a day. Is this the right approach? I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance.
