weird symptoms

hi can anyone help me?? about 4 weeks ago i had a swollen gland a very sore ear and gum.  i went to my gp and was diagnosed with an ear infection and given a weeks worth of antbiotics. after finishing these a few days later i started to get dizziness like vertigo and severe neck pain that has now been going on for about two weeks, along with what i can only describe as pressure in my head and ears, although the vertigo feeling is not as bad as it was.  Im starting to get very worried but feel walking in to my gp and saying i have a brain tumor might be stupid.(as i am in the armed forces) im usually very fit and healthy but this has and is really affecting me please help.!!!

I agree.  A 2nd trip to the dr sounds good.  Sometimes antibiotics don't work the first time around.  Get well!

Robbie,

I recommend you return to your GP and tell him all your symptoms. You may still have an infection.
