Does Pain In Glands Indicate Upper Respiratory Tract Infection?
I am a 45 yr old woman. I started having pain in my glands in my neck. I went to the doctor and held said I have a upper respiratory. Infection in my head area. My ears, throat & sinuses. Are clear. I do not have a tooth issue. I do have numbness in my lower lip and swelling in my left eye. I have been running low grade fevers for 3 weeks. I am starting my 3rd set of antibiotics & I am starting to get nervous. Does this sound like a respiratory infection or maybe something else? Would blood work show the cause?

Thanks to HCM I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR WORRY . any lymph gland swelling in neck region generally related to infection for that draining area . upper respiratory tract means from nostrils to entry of trachea
here you have history of swelling in left eye which leads from URTI..
so don't worry this common for ear nose throat and eye ..
plz take precausion not to expose dusty area , overcrowd places
avoid cool items alon with cool environment
take good antibiotics and anagesics symptoms will be relieved ok don't worry
Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic. I think you need further evaluation. numbness can be due to nerve compression. evaluate thyroid function for pain in neck. MRI or CT scan of head and neck is required. Hope this information helps you. Best wishes.
