A story about suffering in silence, not knowing it was early symptoms of lymphadenitis

Hello. I would like to share my story about experiencing lymphadenitis. I will talk about what the early symptoms of lymphadenitis are and why I endured the pain even when the early symptoms appeared. I will also discuss the process of how I eventually went to the hospital.
One morning, I woke up and my neck was sore. Specifically, the area below my jaw and the middle of my neck hurt. It was painful to swallow saliva and pressing on the area also caused pain. I had never experienced lymphadenitis before, so I didn't think it was that, and I wondered if it was just a sore throat or if I was simply tired. At first, I thought it was nothing serious and just endured it. But the next day, the pain continued.
But as time went on, it was different from a sore throat because the pain was in the neck area, so I was curious about what this symptom could be. I looked it up, and it seemed similar to early symptoms of lymphadenitis.
The early symptoms of lymphadenitis are said to be feeling a lump with your hand, but at that time, I couldn't feel anything like that.
So, since a sore throat has similar symptoms, I thought taking medicine might help, so I took sore throat medicine, but the pain remained the same.
The photo shows when the neck is swollen.
The reason I didn't go to the hospital sooner was that I felt okay when I woke up in the morning, but the pain would increase in the afternoon. So, as this repeated, I thought I might be getting better... But at some point, I noticed a bulging lump.!? The early symptom of lymphadenitis is a palpable lump, but I thought I was in the early stage? I felt it after a little while. I was so surprised that I finally went to an ENT specialist on the fourth day.
In the ENT clinic, they touched the area I said was sore, and many patients confuse early symptoms of lymphadenitis with salivary gland inflammation and pain. Based on my symptoms, they said it looked like lymphadenitis. Since this is my first time experiencing lymphadenitis, I didn't know whether it was early symptoms of lymphadenitis or salivary gland inflammation 🥹. Once I experienced it, I realized how painful it really is! Usually, lymphadenitis is said to be very painful after just a day or two, but the doctor asked me how I managed to endure four days, haha.
That's right, I didn't know anything about lymphadenitis, so I just thought it was a sore throat and endured it.
The early symptoms of lymphadenitis can be similar to a sore throat like mine. As it progresses, it seems to cause swelling of the flesh.
Some people also experience heat waves.
I received medical treatment and was prescribed medication at the hospital. I was advised that the medication contained antibiotics and could cause vomiting, but I was fine. Fortunately, I took the medication and recovered.
I hope everyone stays healthy. I was quite sick haha
