What Causes Painfully Swollen Neck Glands Along With Enlarged Thyroid Gland?
I was seen at an urgent care clinic for an allergy flare up. I was given steroid injection and instructed to continue with allergy medicine. My neck glands are swollen and very sore. The back of my neck hurts as well. It was noticed my thyroid was enlarged. I have had nodules in the past. I also have a small rash where my dog scratched me about a week ago. Not sure if any of these issues are related, Was also found to be anemic with no known cause. Made an appointment with new primary care for this week for follow up. Feeling tired.
