Lymph Node

[SophomoricSlump]

Today I went to the doctor because of an ear infection, she told me that because it's so bad in my one ear my lymph node is swelling. Has anybody ever had this before when they have an ear infection? Does it get any larger over time of treatment?
Is there even a way to get the swelling to go down, or do I just have to wait for the ear to heal?


I ask these questions because the node hurts when I turn my head a certain degree and I want to speed up the healing process.

Thanks in advance :)

[terror_91]

Google it. We aren't doctors.

[Deadbolt23]

I will never understand why people post on here instead of googling.

[bladerdude360]

Aren't those questions you should have asked the doctor when you were there?

Just take what the doctor prescribed you for your ear infection, your lymph node will shrink once the infections gone.

[zachff]

As a baby I almost died from an ear infection and lost hearing in both of my ears, there was a movie based on my dad called Mr Holland's Opus. I'd be pretty worried.

I have this, and I deal with it. I don't know what else to say...

You shouldn't google medical stuff since you wind up thinking you're gonna die since apparently a headache and nausea is a result of every disease, I mean do I have allergies or an aneurysm

Exactly. I googled for her lymph node and every result was fucking cancer.

Yeah it told me I could've had everything from plain swelling to Lymphoma.
Not very helpful.

My dad actually just got a lymph node taken out because of a tumor on it.

[fishguts182]

[terror_91]

Fucking ace.

[And Hours Pass]

Aren't those questions you should have asked the doctor when you were there?
:clap:

How could you possibly believe that asking AP forums was smarter than asking a doctor?

People like this OP make my brain hurt.

You should probably make a topic about that; it could be serious.

I get these frequently each year, and it sucks. My doctor prescribes me ear drops and I take tylenol. It helps to put an ice pack on the node and try not to move your head as much.. even though that's impossible. It shouldn't take too long to heal, it just depends on how severe the ear infection is. I know your pain and I hope you don't have to suffer long!

then you're not using them right.

Thank you :)
Yeah my doctor loaded me up on this cream and pills.
I have to clean my ear three times a day and take the pill three times a day. It's tedious but it's only for ten days.

I've had one that lasted for a month, so ten days sound like nothing. How exactly do you plan to clean your ears?

[FueledByFrodo]

Again, I'm totally in this thread.

She gave me a process, I have to dab them with Hydrogen Peroxide, then put cream on them after they dry, then take a pill. That goes on for ten days three times a day.

didn't mean it as an insult, just an observation.

[atticus18244fss]

I do beleive I've had this before. The back of my ear was in blistering pain and all swollen up for about a week. Had to get antibiotics and supposedly if you don't get it taken care of it's quite dangerous.

oh. well that's nifty, i never thought of that. when i read that you had to clean your ears, i thought like pouring the peroxide in your ear to clean it out. i hate that process.

[etheritcher]

Advil is an anti inflamitory

[terror_91]

I see what you did there...

Well-played sir.
Thank you sire.

Your avatar makes me happy.

Dude I had a swollen lymph node for two weeks. Went to the doctor, they tested me for "Cat Scratch Fever." (Go ahead, insert all jokes here). Got my blood work back, my liver and spleen functions were sky high. Turns out I have mono. Bye bye spring break..

Mono SUCKS, I had it over the summer two years ago.

Yeah my doctor told me if I didn't come in when I did it would've started fucking around with my liver.

It's more my ear lobe then the ear itself.

Glad you got it figured out. What causes it do you know? I don't think I ever found out.

[Mandee, darling]

Oh, that makes sense. Hopefully it gets better, fast.

For me I think it was the kind of earring I was using.
