If you want my two cents: go see a doctor and ask them to perform a biopsy on that node. That way, you'll know for sure whether it's just an infection that will clear up with antibiotics or if it's something much more serious.

Could you explain what you mean by biopsying a node?
And also, what exactly is Hodgkin's lymphoma?

I’m dealing with this swollen lymph node in my neck, and honestly, it’s brutal—I can barely even turn my head without intense pain. I went to see my doctor, and they put me on antibiotics. I've been taking the highest dose possible, 1000mg every eight hours, for four days now, and I even had a fever, but I’m seeing absolutely no improvement whatsoever. Has anyone else here dealt with issues involving a swollen lymph node in the neck?
