[|Human|] Nephew away at college had a bout of poison ivy recently. He developed a quarter size lump on the side of neck. Also having intermittent headaches which cause vomiting, fatigue and occasional diarrhea. He was treated at Urgicare and given antibiotics for poison ivy. No blood test or other tests done. This doesn`t sound like just poison ivy. He sent a pic of lump and there isn`t any poison ivy rash on his neck. Just well defined quarter size lump. He was told to take antibiotics and if lump doesn`t clear to see his family Dr when he is home for Labor Day. We suspect swollen lymph node. Is that possible from poison ivy?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that poison ivy causes rash only. Lump and lymph node swelling are associated with some kind of infections. I suspect some kind of viral infections that cause lymph node swelling and fever, diarrhea etc. Kindly take good antibiotics according to your family physician. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
