What Causes Clicking Noise In Ears And Swollen Lymph Nodes?

default
Posted on Sat, 29 Oct 2016
Question: Hello,
These are my symptoms-
1- Crunching /clicking noise in my ears.
2- Swollen lymph node just in front of my right ear and swollen vessels above my right ear
3- wetness in both ears, wen I put my finger in my ear, It is on my finger tip
4- Bad smell coming from my breath ( not normal for me)
4- sensitivity to cold in my right upper back molars ( comes and goes)
5- itching and sensitivity behind my right ear and going down my neck at times
6-White mucus every day in my nose ( white thick like elmers glue) not yellow or bloody.
7-Floaters in my eyes

The main symptom began on the eight day of taking amaoxacilian for a sinus infection. I had been up all night working and woke up the next morning with this Crunchy/ clicking in my right ear and in my neck. It was very distinct and happened that night. I recall waking up and saying to my self that ive never felt that sensation or discomfort in my head and neck ever before.
My point it began while I was taking amoxicillain. I also took several courses of antibiotics last fall as we thought it was a sinus infection.

My question is could this be a systemic candida issue? Is so what type of doctor should I be seeing?

I have been to a good ENT several times, MRI, culture for virus all negative. He refeared me to a nose specialist in XXXXXXX I'm not sure if that's the proper next step.

Ive had these symptoms for over a year now. My body, my research and my intuition are telling me this could be a "negative/ allergic" reaction from the Antibiotics. again it very specifically started on the second to last day of treatment on a night that I was up all nigh stressed and working hard. I keep coming back to this..

Best regards

XXXX

Brief Answer:
Possibility of candida infection is very very less.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of candida infection is very very less.
Normal MRI, negative culture etc don't support infective etiology.
So no need to worry for candida infection.
Yes, possibility of allergic etiology is more.
So you can also consult allergist for better understanding.
You may need few blood tests, skin tests to detect whether you are allergic or not.
