Suggest Cure For An Allergy
Hi, Ive been wondering why I have had one swollen lymph node on the left side of my neck close to my jaw bone right under my ear for a little over a month now. Its not badly swollen but it is not normal. I have also had frequent dizzy spells for about the same amount of time. When this started my doctor gave me antibiotics for a sinus infection and an inhaler for my cough. The inhaler works, but my lymph nodes never went down. I realize that I have allergies and there is alot of pollen in my area, could this be the cause of all of my symptoms?

Hi thanks for using HCM ....
Lymph nodes could be due to some infection.
Feel of the lymph node is also important
The lymphnode structure will be different in different conditions
Lymph node biopsy is also an option if the there is significant lymphnode enlargement
You have to do a routine blood count to see any abnormality ....
ENT consultation to rule out ear pathology
Thank you....
