I went to see the ear nose and throat specialist about a week and a half ago and he says that my lymph nodes keep getting swollen because I get stones in my salivary glands.  The bad thing is he never said how to take care of it other than a hot compress and massaging my neck when I can feel it coming on.  I feel it coming on today and I did that, but it does not seem to help at all.  I am very disappointed because I thought that I might actually have my problem fixed.
