[|Human|] Hi there, Im 24 female and Ive been having swollen glands on my neck monthly for 6 months now. the first few times resulted in fever and tonsilitis. After that, ive been taking high doses of vit and VitC as soon as my neck starts to feel tender - this stops the pain/swelling straight away. However, the glands are there and slowly reduces in size until the next month.. Ive been taking chinese medicine for almost 2 weeks and I got it again only 2 weeks after my last one. Im so worried and dont know whats wrong with me. Ive had blood test done last time and it came back normal. I just need some help and the internet talks about HIV and cancer, it really worries me. Help! From New Zealand.
[|AI|]  Thank you for asking Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. Well, you have mentioned that you have swollen glands on neck for the last 6 months which initially resulted as fever and tonsillitis. You have used vitamins and Chinese medicines, but again they recur. Swelling in the neck region can be from different causes, you have mentioned the Gland, probably you are talking about Thyroid (Midline neck swelling) or Other glands (Submandibular in cases of side of the neck swelling) .your blood tests were normal. You are worried as when you searched on internet, and you came across talks about HIV & Cancer ...HIV and Cancer have their specific history or family history and some other factors or specific symptoms which are not visible in your presented history here ...and you should not make yourself even about thinking regarding HIV & Cancer...all you need is a Visit to GP / ENT consultant for proper evaluation of this swelling by detailed history, Clinical examination, work up which may include some Labs and or Ultrasound of that swelling if needed for diagnosis and then treatment. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
