Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per query you have symptoms of swollen glands, popping in the ears, pressure in the ears, neck pain in the back and lots of headaches. Ear pressure, neck pain are the symptoms you should be concerned about. I would suggest you to get prescribed antibiotics first of all. Visit ENT specialist once and get an X-ray of the paranasal sinuses to confirm the diagnosis and check for any blockage of the sinuses. Do steam inhalation 2-3 times in a day. Steam is a very good nasal decongestant; it helps in reducing your problem sooner. Use saline nasal spray as frequently as possible. Saline is also a powerful decongestant without any side effects. Drink plenty of warm water. Avoid smoking/coffee/chilled food and beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
