Swollen Lymph Node (Neck) as a Result of Covid Virus

Hello Colleen,
Thank you for your reply.
The swollen lymph node is only on the left side. When I informed the doctor the antibiotic had no effect, he ordered a CT scan and referred me to an ENT. After review of the CT scan, the ENT ordered a biopsy of the node. I believe the focus here was to look for any cancer. No cancer was detected. The ENT wants to do surgery to look for and evaluate a possibly cyst. I'm not going to do this at this point. The ENT seems to want to go down traditional paths and there's not much focus on the fact the swollen node appeared during a Covid-19 infection.

I have the same thing. I'm going to an ent for the constant nasal drip after covid, but I should also mention my lymph node too. But I agree, I would go down the surgery route immediately either unless cancer was found.
