Hi all,
Weird question - I have a swollen gland on the left side of my neck but no sore throat, no fever, no other symptoms. I do tend to get sinus problems so perhaps one of my 'way back' sinuses is backed up but again no symptoms there.
It's been bugging me since last Saturday and I know usually wait a week to 10 days to see if something like that will clear up, probably a viral infection of some type, yada yada yada.
But, I never get swollen glands, and this is bugging me! I have a doctors appt a week from today, but should I be worried and go to an urgent care walk-in center??
I have this irrational fear that after all I've been through with the valve stuff, something really stupid and mundane will get me like a stupid tumor or valve infection from a boring sore throat. But, I work really hard to take care of my health so when something's off I notice it. Am I overreacting?
Any comments would be appreciated...
Thanks!
Patty
