    Hey guys,

    A few weeks back now I found a lump in the back of my neck, the quack said it was a sist but it turns out its a swollen lymph node as i had a ultra sound on it. Now i admit i did take a series of antibiotics (IBILEX 500 four times a day, penicilin drug) its been a day since i have been off them and the lump is still there, no sign of going away =(

    Now the quack found two others in the front of my neck when i saw her the first time, i can only feel the one in the back...

    I never usually take antibiotics but i am so scared and didnt know what else to do. Someone has mentioned taking COLLODIAL SILVER. What does everyone think? I heard it works so much better than antibiotics and doesnt damage any good bacteria, who has used it before? i would love some feed back as i googled it and it had alot of pros and cons, i am confident in it as i believe in natural therapys but i would like some advice on it!!?!?!?!?

    Also these lymph nodes - i have not been sick in a while and i am a young healthy 22 yr old female, i do smoke sometimes and drink on the odd occasion other than that i feel great...Im scared it could be lymphoma? or something more serious as it has not gone down? please help me out with ANY advice you may have...i sometimes have a lil cough but i think that have something to do with having a smoke!

    Thank you so much for reading this and taking the time to reply (if you do) =)

    Love Lozzie xoxox

    Yeah, collodial silver is great for your throat and immune system. I'm not sure if it's a substitute for antibiotics, though. Maybe try a second round of the antibiotics while using the silver?

    its about 1cm wide its not soft and squishy, its quite firm. it doesnt hurt at all, a few times i have had a pulsating feeling in the back of my neck where it is. I think i can move it a little bit..not much though...

    Im really worried as she has given me a sheet of paper to get a blood test if it doesnt go down, i have been off the antibiotics two days now and it hasnt changed at all...

    Please help im a 22 yr old female and i dont really feel ill at all ...

    xoxo thank u so much to you dspiel and plastic bagism!!!! much love

    xoxo

    Swollen lymph nodes can take a long time (a few months) to go down. Don't expect them to change after only two days after antibiotics. In fact, I have a lymph node in the front of my neck that just showed up one day and never really went down. Some people are just lumpy.

    Given your age, it's unlikely to be lymphoma (it usually occurs in people over 50), and the fact that the ultrasound didn't show anything is a good sign. But if I were you, I'd go in for a quick blood test to put my mind at ease.
