What Causes Swollen Lymph Glands Along With Fatigue And Headaches?
My glands are swollen often and I m always fatigued and I get headaches on one side of my face and head. I have gone to the doctor often and they perscribe me an antibiotic and I seem ok for a few weeks, then I seem to get sick again. What do you think the problem could be. I told the doctor I know something is wrong but he thinks I m fine. It affects my everyday life I can t live like this anymore. What do you think is wrong?

Hello and welcome
I appreciate your concern
If the fever and lymphadenopathy is recurring frequently then blood counts should be done. It can be a viral infection if the response to antibiotics wasn't adequate. For the time being you should continue gargles with saline, ibuprofen for associated pain and swelling. Throat swab for culture sensitivity testing should also be done.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
