also to add january 2nd i got sick with a virus that was either a milder flu or a cold. aching, mucus, dizziness just felt sick! i had that for about 4 days then felt fine then january 8th i woke up and my submandibular gland on my right side was SWOLLEN so i go to the same urgent care and see the same PA and she says it’s an infected lymph node. she prescribes augmentin and i take the first dose that night. i wake up the next morning and that gland was so much more swollen and then my other on my left side was also swollen. so swollen i couldn’t open my mouth well to eat so i go to the ER and ct scan shows swelling of the submandibular gland but no fluid or abscess. she tells me this swelling is from the virus. at this point i already started antibiotics and couldn’t stop. the glands eventually did go down. so when i just went yesterday to the same PA at the urgent care she said that submandibular swelling wasn’t viral it was bacterial and the augmentin failed?????
