Do you know what kind of infection, bacterial or yeast?

Also, if bacterial, be certain to do anticandida stuff afterwards to counteract the effect of the antibiotics. Candida is opportunistic and will likely flourish with the antibiotics. A good enteric coated acidophilus is de riguer.

They said they wouldn't be able to tell exactly what kind of infection unless they took the whole lymph node out for dissection... which is a possibility if the swelling doesn't go down soon.

I'm definitely being cautious about candida. I'm taking an enteric-coated probiotic, eating yogurt every morning, and keeping sugars to a minimum. Your suggestions have been very helpful!

Am glad to hear that my suggestions so far have been helpful!

Can't they tell through a blood test and/or some kind of culture in a petri dish what kind of infection it is without removing the node?

If you go off all sugars and quick carbs and experience withdrawal symptoms, and then feel better if you eat something sugary or quick carby -- as I previously suggested, its likely to be candida or some fungus.

You'll want to know if its bacterial however since herbs don't really eradicate serious bacterial infections. Just more minor ones... Sometimes the antibiotics are actually really very necessary--as they were for me last spring when the infection from my lungs migrated to my kidneys! What happe3nd to me is that I thought it was a virus and took my strongest herbs. I'd feel better but then go out and do something and always felt worse. When it went into my kidneys I knew I was in trouble...Fortunately a friend helped me since I was in no condition to go see a doc on my own.

Barberry by the way is specific against both fungal yeasty stuff and microbes... And grapefruit seed extract (taken just a few drops at a time in lots of water) is very effective too. You could also put oregano or thyme oil directly on the swollen lymph nodes.

I suggest you google this and other herbal suggestions as to safety given your still nursing your infant. I am getting ready for an art exhibit and just don't have a lot of excess time right now. Next weekend will be different but for now every moment counts...

I have recently been diagnosed with diffuse B-cell non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I had a small lesion on my neck, tiredness and experience reflux and indigestion very badly . I adopted a lactose free diet and the reflux reduced. Not until I adopted a gluten free diet did I experience 0 out of 10 reflux . I wonder if others out there have experienced this success in alleviating gastro symptoms. I wonder if this has helped with the illness being held at bay and or will help with my cancer treatment. To either diminish symptoms or speed up recovery . Needless to say I will never eat Gluten again. I have a husband who is coeliac and this is why I decided to try going Gluten free. I was also trying to lose weight prior to cancer diagnosis and found was much more successful eliminating Gluten.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:

      Most antibody tests for celiac don’t report a zero because of the way the tests work.  The lowest reportable value is usually <# (# being the lowest quantifiable value for that particular lab’s test).  Values can and should eventually decrease into the normal range.  So for the lab used for your son, a 9 would be considered normal. A grain of wheat will not trigger the same response as a full bowl of spaghetti. Most biological reactions follow a dose response curve - the larger the dose, the larger the response - in that particular person. The intestines can be attacked and antibody levels can increase without symptoms.  Also, acute symptoms from a one time “glutening” can happen without antibody levels increasing. The severe acute reactions that some people have within minutes to hours after ingesting gluten appear to be due to cytokines. I call myself a supersensitive but silent celiac.  I never had obvious symptoms but was tested because I get migraines and my doctor thought there might be a connection.  I do have less fatigue now that I am gluten free.  Still get the occasional migraine unfortunately. I started my gluten free diet by avoiding things with obvious gluten ingredients,  Antibody levels went down but one was still above normal.  Then I only ate processed foods labeled gluten free. That antibody level decreased more but was still above normal.  Now I eat processed foods that are certified gluten free or small amounts of a few items labeled gluten free from very reputable companies and all my antibody levels are in the normal ranges. The stubborn antibody level rose above normal once, I stopped using gluten free flour from a reputable company and it went back down to normal. It would almost be easier if I DID react obviously to gluten.  Then I’d know what foods to avoid, instead of relying on once a year blood tests.

      As a parent myself, I find we feel these things very keenly, it is completely understandable that you feel the way you do. It won't always be easy for your son, of course, but honestly most of the coeliacs I know are very healthy individuals who enjoy life to the full and have adapted very well.  Family support is a massive factor in this, and your son has a wonderfully supportive family which will give him the best start possible.  He is very fortunate to have such an understanding mum.   On the response to gluten question you posed earlier - yes, many people when they come off gluten completely, after a while when they are exposed to gluten by accident or intentionally they react much more strongly than before, compared to when gluten was regularly being ingested.  I read once that once stop eating gluten completely, it is a bit like your system is fully rested, like a resting army, so when gluten does appear your body it goes all out to deal with the "enemy", throwing everything it can at it.   I am sure someone more scientific can better explain this to you.  But that said, I do have a friend who was diagnosed with coeliac disease just a few weeks before me, is strict with her diet, and she NEVER reacts physically to gluten, bizarrely.  It does happen! As regards blood tests which your son will no doubt be offered, these are to check for compliance to the gluten free diet as well as to check no other health issues are arising.  But on that first point, the blood test is unlikely to pick up one or two glutening experiences that happen in a year,  it tends to be more helpful to show if there is regular cross-contamination or ingestion of gluten.   When I was unintentionally taking an iron supplement that had gluten in it, it was a blood test that drew my attention to the fact that something was going wrong with my diet.
