swollen neck

by penny10, May 04, 2009 11:05PM
Hello, For the last 2 months ive noticed my symptoms worsening. My neck (possibly glands?) is swollen up into my ears. Ears go from itching to hurting constantly. Head and neck aches, General fatigue and achy joints. My eyes hurt and seem sluggish. And sometimes get short of breath.
Went to doctor and tthinks it might be allergies, but ive never suffered from allergy symptoms, so any thoughts would be great. Could it be thyroid?

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
If the lymph nodes that trouble you are mainly in the head and neck area then problems like sinusitis, pyorrhea, dental caries, and dandruff in your head could be the problem.
Have you checked your temperature? You could also be having glandular fever. Allergic reaction is a possibility you cannot rule out.
Hope this helps. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
