it is very difficult for me to comment on your case since i do not know any of the details including the reason for the antibitoics in the first place. not all "swollen glands" are bacterial so if you a a viral infection they would not help (no matter what antibiotic you chose) if you are getting worse it is up to your doctor to run some additional diagnostic test. i think this would be better than just throwing another (a 4th) antibiotic at it without really knowing if the underlying reason justifies it.
i have sore swollen glands and neck stiffness that is not responding to 3 antibiotic treatments in a row. no fever? . hello . i've had swollen glands and a stiff neck for going on week 4 now. my gp who is also an endocrinologist had me take zpack. it responded a little to the zpack but then it stopped so he had me take another one. when that didn't work he had me take augmentin. and i seem to be getting a little worse. i'm pretty worried. i do have hypothyroid but i was recently checked and all is well there plus the swelling is in the glands in my neck and not where my thyroid would be. no fever.
