How Can One Treat Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Neck And Headache?
I have had a headache for about 8 days that has oscillated between an ache and intense stabbing pain. It has been pretty intense and almost sent me to the ED because no OTC pain relievers were helping. I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck also for 8-10 days (they appear to be reducing in size now). I have been tired but not overwhelmingly so. No night sweats, no weight lose. I do get occasional painless swelling in my left lower leg and that has been occurring for about 10 months

You have to check it out ESR, chest x-ray, sputum examination, and lymph node biopsy. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
