What Causes Swelling Of Lymph Nodes On Neck While Suffering From Sinus And Ear Infection?

Hi, I had sinus infection and couple of short cold within the past two months, the most recent was 3 weeks ago with sinus and ear infection, my doc prescribed antibiotics for me. now after three or more weeks I feel one of my lymph nodes on my muscle of the neck just at the bottom of the right ear, when I turn my head to the left is slightly enlarged. So Im concerned about this lymph node. In addition I had a cyst on my ear lobe which was due to playing with a black head on the ear. now it has turned read a hurts when I touch. SO I wanna ask is the lymph node due to previouse infections, ear skin cyst or can it be something serious?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I will suggest FNAC test in which needle will take tissue from it and microscope will tell what infection or real cause of this. Moreover, immunity is less, so eat antioxidants [amla, aloevera, basil]. Take steam [Karvol plus capsule in hot water] for few mins and Betadine and other times coconut water gargles. These can be taken a few times.

I will suggest you to learn pranayam and meditaion and sudarshan kriya. These increases immunity and help in reducing infections, lessen stress and anxiety.

I hope this helps. Take care. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
