What Is The Treatment For Swollen Glands?
Hi my glands behind my ears have swollen up and are very lumpy. Also I have developed sores on my head under my hair. Both are very sore and the glands behind my ears are painfull to touch.
The sores have been there for a couple of days, the glands came up this morning.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swollen glands what you are describing can be a enlarged lymphnodes secondary to hair follicle infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic).
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
