I had a cold about two months ago and I went to the doctor. She said it was allergies. I had a fever, runny nose, scratchy throat, and lots fluid in my ears. They gave me zyrtec d and got a little better but never finished the dosages. A few weeks ago I started having inner ear problems, and a swollen lymph node on the same side of my neck as the infected ear, it s still bothering me a bit and the swollen node is still there. Is it due to the cold? What medicine should I take? When will it go away?(my allergies are still bothering me)
