How long will it take for the small lumps on the right side of my neck to completely go away now that my sore throat is cured and I have been taking the antibiotic Cefakind 500 for five days with some improvement?
The small lumps you feel are lymph nodes, which act as your body's defense filters. They naturally swell during an infection and can take about two to four weeks?sometimes even a bit longer?to completely shrink back to their normal size, even after you finish your Cefakind 500 (cefuroxime) course. This delay is completely normal and no cause for concern. As long as they are gradually shrinking and not growing or becoming painful, your body is healing beautifully.
