I caught a cold two weeks ago. Lasted 2 weeks and ended with a bad sore throat and laryngitis. (Which is normal for me.) what's not normal is that during the sore throat time -about 3 days- the nodes under my jaw near my ears swelled up hugely and painfully. It's been about a week now since the cold ended and the nodes are still huge and tender, making swallowing painful. Also my neck is so sore I can hardly move it around. WTF IS HAPPNIN? Has anybody experienced this???
