I am undergoing treatment for sinusitis. I have currently taken 10 tablets of Amoksiklav. The overall improvement has already appeared, but for 2 days suddenly from day to day I feel a strong pressure in the throat on the left side, as if swelling or obstruction in the throat. I have difficulty swallowing. More precisely, at the bottom of the neck on the left. Should I stop the antibiotic? I'm afraid it could be swollen lymph node

You should not stop the antibiotic Amoksiklav yourself without consulting your doctor. In the case of treatment of sinusitis, it is important to bring the antibiotic treatment to the end. Only the doctor will decide on possible changes in therapy, if he deems it necessary.

If you are unable to get to your primary care doctor, the GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja
