What symptoms are you having ?

Customer replied 1459 days and 6 hours ago.

I was having alot of lower abdominal pain last week.That has calmed down some,but now the right side of my neck and shoulder.When my first scan was done on 3/4 there were no enlarged lymph nodes in my neck.Now there is one behind my right ear and I have swelling in my right clavical area.Because of that I was told to have another scan done with dye and also to include the chest this time.I also tire very easy and have been having some unusual sweating at night.Sweats have been on and off.Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying.

I would advise you to see an Internal Medicine Specialist.

These granulomas and lymph nodes are probably infective and would best be treated by a Physician.

Kind Regards,

Dr.Joshi
