Jen, I hope that the swollen lymph nodes are still swollen as they clean out the infection - as you know, that's the job of the lymph system.

When I was in my teens, I was prone to a lot of throat infections. When I was about 14, my mom noticed a worrisome lump on the back of my neck. My dad made a preliminary inquiry with the doc at his job - the doc asked if I had just had an illness, and I had had another throat infection. It had been gone for several days. The doc said it was likely a lymph node/gland cleaning up the dregs, and to watch it...it should disappear in a week.

I hope this is Shilo's situation - it was a stubborn infection, so might be taking a long time for the lymph "bouncers" to throw all the garbage out!

Prayers for you and Shilo.
