Treated For Sinus Infection. Have Fever And Swollen Bumps Behind Ears. Safe Remedy?
I am being treated by an ent for a sinus infection . Bacterium is the anti for 21 days and a steroid for 7 days. I woke up this am in tears screaming pain under rib cage and above right hip. Once pain is away area is tender. I have a fever and swollen bumps size of a marble behind my ears. I also have one under my throat. I have had swollen glands but not small like this round and painful. Do I need to go to dr or judt continue medication
Welcome to HCM. Swollen behind ear and under throat is lymph node enlargement. It usually occurs after infection in the head and neck area due to infective drainage in the lymph node. According to me you have to stop steroid and continue proper antibiotic like amoxy/clavulinic 625 with decongestant and nsaid. Lymph node enlargement will subside gradually. Avoid cold drinks,chocolates,ice cream and deep fry food. If it is recurrent than go for cbc,aec,fbs,ppbs and x-ray investigations. Consult your ent for further guidance and proper medical management.
