What Causes Headache, Swollen Glands And Fullness In Ears?

Is a Bug going around in Missouri this Spring? I am feeling queasy almost every day and headache. My glands feel swollen, and ears feel full. I feel sweaty fast and then chill at other times. Is it a virus? What can I take to feel better? Thanks, Barb

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.

Swollen glands can be due to lymph node enlargement, fullness of ears can be due to infection in the ear and headache can be associated with fullness of ears.
I suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for examination of the ear for any fluid or pus collection.
If infection is detected, appropriate antibiotic can be taken for treatment of infection.
Lymph node enlargement is most probably due to infection, thus, it will be treated after infection control.
In the meanwhile you can take painkiller for headache and other associated pain.

Thanks and take care
