I'm a bit worried because I've had a dry cough for about a week, and now the right side of my back is swollen. I went to the doctor, and she said the swelling is from the cough and it's nothing serious. The swelling has gone down, but I'm still feeling a little pain around my right rib area. Should I be concerned about this lingering pain? Could it be something more than just from the cough?

I've noticed that the lymph nodes beside my ears, near my neck and lower jaw, have been swollen for about 5 or 6 days now. Along with that, I've been dealing with a cough and a headache. Could you help me understand what's going on?
Swollen lymph nodes near the ears, neck, and jaw, along with symptoms like cough and headache, could indicate a viral or bacterial infection, such as a common cold, flu, or an upper respiratory infection. It's important to monitor your symptoms, and if they persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and treatment.
