The results for my throat culture came back today, it's nothing "serious", just an infection that got caught by my 'node, which ever he said it was.
He prescribed an anti-bacterial pill for me, I have to take one each day for 10 days. After the first 24 hours "on the pill" the lump reduced in size, and he suggested taking advil for any discomfort or pain in swallowing(food, drink, not man-seed; admit it you bastards, if I hadn't done this you would have gone there).
The pill makes my mouth really dry, and makes my eyes even more sensitive to light than they usually are, but other than that, I'd say I'm doing well.
