I Have Swollen Glands On The Left Side Of My

I have swollen glands on the left side of my ear where the jaw meets, one under the bottom of my ear (left). I also have a lump on my left eyebrow. The ones near my ears hurt. I noticed them two nights ago. I am not coughing, sneezing and I don't have a fever. My left ear hurts just a little. Aside from slight nausea and extreme fatigue, I feel okay. My throat was a little scratchy, but because I have a lot of allergies, I have that a lot anyway. The doctor said my cbc, throat and ears look good, but I am anemic. She said it was a virus and that it should be cleared out in a couple days. However, I am concerned because I have no other symptoms. I though maybe it was a tooth, but my gums are not swollen or red, and my teeth don't hurt. The pain from the swollen glands is pretty moderate, but I can tolerate it. I know there is a virus going around, but everyone is coughing and complaining of sinus stuffiness. I have none of that. Oh, I did have a slight headache, but not for long.
