[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 245111, member: 1991"] If you've got an infection, the lymph nodes in the area are working extra hard to help your body fight the infection. The antibiotics are another weapon in the armoury, especially if you're fighting a bacterial infection (which, from your response, sounds like you are). If you think about how you use/abuse your body when you have a cold - you've probably been blowing your nose, maybe coughing, maybe sniffing - all this uses muscles you don't normally use to this extent. It's amazing how sore and stiff your neck muscles and even forehead canfeel, when you've been repeatedly blowing your nose even for one day. Add in the usual myalgia pain you can get when you have a low-grade fever or an infection, and your muscles are extra touchy anyway. So I don't think the soreness is primarily nodes, I think it's primarily from the infection, with some strained/overworked muscles having to do more than they're used to. Keep taking those pills! And if you get to the end of the course and you still aren't well, go back and get a repeat ASAP, don't wait. Marg [/QUOTE]
