Swollen Lymph Nodes in Neck and Clogged Ear

[monica89c]

I am a 19 yr old female and I have been having these symptoms for about 6 years now, but I do not know if anything is even wrong of if what is occuring is natural....I have had swolen lymph nodes in my neck constantly, even when I do not have a cold or a sore throat. They are mostly on the right side of my neck and especially around my right ear area, but some on the left too. My right ear has also felt odd. I would not really call it pain, but It throbbs sometimes and feels like there is a build up of air pressure in it that needs to be released. I feel like it is not connected to my head like my left ear. I dont know if this means anything but I can wiggle my entire right ear up and down. I have been swimming for over 10 years so I am thinking it could be swimmer's ear. It feels like there is something deep down in my ear that is clogging my ear canal and it needs to be pulled out. I went to a doctor about 2 years ago to get it checked and he said it was because I was chewing too much gum. I stopped chewing gum for a while but nothing changed. I dont know if this has anything to do with my ear and throat but I also always feel light headed, drowsy, and deenergized. I get normal amounts of sleep, I do not drink alcohol a lot, I do drink coffee, I drink regular amounts of water, and I eat healthy for the most part. I also do not have any allergies. I have been recently tested for STD's, mono, and anemia and do not have any. I am also not sure if this concerns anything, but whenever I open my mouth the right side of my jaw cracks. Or when I move my jaw left and right it cracks. It feels like the joint is getting disconnected. And when I open my mouth as wide as I can there is a cracking sound on the right side of my jaw I still have my wisdom teeth in maybe all these symptoms are due to that. Does anyone know why my lymph nodes are always swollen and why my ear is feeling this way and why I feel so drowsy all the time?

Hello Monica,

I can totaly relate to what you saying. I have the same problem. Tomorrow I have an appointment with the Audiology, hopefully they can see what it is.
I will keep you posted. Please let me know if you have improvements.

I have exactly the same symptoms as you but for 2 years and have had tests done aswell! Right down to the clicking jaw! i have no idea what it is, and it worries me. May change doctors.
Good luck fixing it!

maybe it is a parasitic worm related to morgellons or strongyloides that labs and doctors cant diagnose?Worth buying anti-parasitic herbs online for 20.00 and giving that a try if doctors wont help

Go see a good holistic doctor.  Probably toxic buildup in your system

also...Possibly a muccus buildup in your mastoid cells on that side.  Can be seen on CT scans.
