Question: hello,
I have allergies or sinus drainage. I feel dizzy and off balance, and tired i also have been real congested . I just noticed yesterday that I have a slightly swollen but painful cubital node on the inner left elbow. Could it be from me being sick? or should i investigate further?

Brief Answer:
please dont worry!

Detailed Answer:
Hello

It is likely that you are having a sinus infection which is making you sick and congested.

The node in the elbow is not related to your sinus infection and can be due to may reasons including an infection in your hand or trauma while doing something.

However , there is a rare possibility of something ,ore sinister like syphilis or lymphoma , although i cannot tell you this for sure since i have not examined you.

Please dont be alarmed and I would like you to wait for a week and if the swelling increases or does not disappear, i would like you to meet your doctor for further evaluation and tests.

Meanwhile you can meet your ent doctor for work up and further guidance regarding your sinus infection.

You can start steam inhalation 2-3 times a day , it will help.

Thanks
