What Causes Neck Pain And Swollen Ear Lobes After Having Doxycycline?

Hi I m osass. I have had a rash on my forehead for 2 months that just won t go away. Went to the hospital and was given doxycycline and Benadryl. The rash has subsided and is fading away. Butive been having some neck pain and just today I realized my earlobes are abit swollen. Is this indicative of the fact that my lymph nodes could get swollen? I had them checked out yesterday and was told nothing was wrong.. But I m scares. Cus I have a serious neck pain radiating from the back of my ears downwards and have lost some weight, probably because I ve lost my appetite. my neck hurts and my earlobes are swollen, itchy, scaly but not painful. What could be the cause of this? My email adress is YYYY@YYYY . Thank you do much and waiting for your response.
