Question

I've had swollen lymph nodes for about seven months now, and while they're moveable and don't hurt, they just won't go away. The FNAC test I did said they're reactive, but after trying antibiotics, nothing's changed theyre still the same size. I dont have any other symptoms, so I'm kind of at a loss here. What should my next steps be? Trying not to worry too much, but it's been a while.

Hello Zac San,

Yellow patches on the tonsils can be concerning.

Possible causes:

  • Tonsillitis
  • Tonsil stones (calcified debris)
  • Oral thrush (fungal infection)
  • Strep throat

Given your history of swelling and pain, it's essential to consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician for a thorough examination and diagnosis.
