 [ Symptoms ] i have sore swollen glands and neck stiffness that is not responding to 3 antibiotic treatments in a row no fever  hello  i have 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 did not work he had me take augmentin and i seem to be getting a little worse i am 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 [ Disease ] 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
