Hi everyone i hope someones able to help me and i just need someone to talk to.
Im 22 year old female and have swollen lymph nodes, i have 2 on my right side in my groin, 1 on the left side of my groin and 1 on the left side above my collar bone.
I went to the doctors yesterday and she said they are swollen lymph nodes but thinks the one in my groin on the left could be an infected hair follical so she perscribed me some broad antibioctics and took some blood.
The doctor messaged me this morning to say my bloods are normal but im concerned because if it is an infected hair folical surely my white blood cell count would be elevated. I have tried phoning the doctors this morning but they are only taking emergancy phone calls and the next routine one wouldnt be until thursday next week. But i just wanted to ask some questions like if my white blood cell count is normal then do i need to keep taking the antibiotics? She has made an appointment for a phone call review in 2 weeks time.
Apart from my lynoh nodes being swollen i am also fatigued and kinda brushed it off as being tired from chasing my 1 uear old around and ive been losing weight. I started doing regular exercise 5 days a week a month or 2 ago but found i was loosing more weight quicker than i thought so 2 weeks ago i reduced my exercise and now to it 2 times a week and started eating more to try and get my weight up but im still loosing weight. Obviously im worried silly about the C word and would have been much more relaxed if my white blood cell count was elevated.
Sorry for the long post my anxiety is through the roof and just need someone to talk to.
