I went to a ent doctor yesterday and he said that my problem was sialolithiasis. Check it out. This might help some of you out. Try sucking on lemon drops or something that has citrus in it. He said that your glands can get stones on them and it causes it to shut down and swell. I am going to try the lemon drops but I do have a ct set for next week to see if it is stones. I hope this helps.
I had the same symptoms for about 3 months and they found out its caused by GERD
I have had the same symptoms as most of you. Anyone had a doctor's opinion yet? And,... what was the diagnosis? What was prescribed?
Hi there,
I have similar symptoms. I had 2 colds within the space of 3 weeks, and about 3 weeks ago I found a lump in my neck. It hasn't gone away and has me worried.
The deep cervical nodes (I believe) are UNDER the mastenoid muscle. As a result, these nodes are hard for the doctor to examine. All of this means that if you can see that the node is the size of a grape, it probably isn't deep cervical. Again, I could be wrong.
Regarding the biopsy...I know how it is not to have insurance, I don't have it either. That being said, what price can you put on your life? Also, if it is nothing major, what price can you put on knowing that? I would try to get it done.
I also have similar problems for over a month.
Lump in throat, swollen cervical lumph nodes, hot flash(warm and hot skin), and sometimes dizziness.
I have also been getting dizzy and having hot flashes more recently.
