I have gone to the Dr a couple times about this gland swollen in my neck. At first I thought that it might be tonsillitis, but she said that it wasn't. She then suggested strep throat or staff infection, which were both negative. She has me on a muscle relaxant, and allergy medicine, but it isn't helping. It is tender to the touch, and if I don't take pain medicine, it hurts to talk, or even turn my neck. It goes up from below the ear to down my neck. any suggestions??
