swollen gland

[emily7]

ive noticed for the last couple of days i have had a swollen gland onthe right side of my neck.....every once in a while i get some pains in my ears, i figure im getting a cold or something, but im not stuffy, i have a little post nasal drip and occassionally i get a little bit of pain in my other ear on the left side...i keep getting that sneezy feeling, can your glands bother you with allergies???

[shiva]

Yes, for sure. Have you been taking any antihistimines for it?

[emily7]

no because i had no idea allergies could bother your glands i just figured i was fighting off a cold

[emily7]

i just feel generally crappy i hope its not stomach related

[emily7]

this gland thing is really annoying what is this usually a symptom of??

[sillygirl]

I'm not sure what triggers it but I know it can happen. Maybe you should call a doctor. They can probably tell you more about it. I really doubt it is stomach realted. You are probably just working yourself up. You will be fine!

I don't think your glands swell for stomach stuff either so for thatyou should be fine. But I do agree maybe call your Dr. Or if you think it's allergies you could take a Benedryl or soemthing like shiva said. It will help your allergy symptoms plus I've heard (is it true?) that Benedryl has anti-emetic effects as well so you could completely relax about that. Plus it helps me sleep! lol Anyhow hope you feel better soon!
