Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Node In The Neck
I have had swollen glands in my neck and it seems like possibly an inner ear infection in my left ear. Sometimes, I can take Zyrtec and I feel better but then the symptoms come back cuz I do no take Zyrtec everyday. Should I go to the doctor to get my ear looked at? Sometimes it also hurts and I use a heating pad on it to make it feel better.

Hello
It is not likely that an inner ear infection will cause a lymph node enlargement and since you are already on medications, it is advisable that you meet your doctor for continuing the antibiotics and find out the cause for the lymph node enlargement.
Take care!
