Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I would like to know some more details about your condition to understand and advice better.

Since when do you have the above symptoms ?
Where exactly are the above mentioned lymph-nodes present ?
Do you get fever ?
Did you have cold in recent past ?
Do you feel heaviness in the head ?

Symptoms presented on Sat that just last. The lymph nodes are on the right side along jawline. No fever, no cold recently, no heaviness anymore. Shooting pains every now and then.

What type of symptoms are present if exposed to mold?

Thank you. AAAAA

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

The lymph nodes you have do not appear to be related to the headache you .Since there are no other associated symptoms with headache , the chances of Migraine are very high.I would ask you to take a combination preparation of Aspirin and caffeine.If there is relief with the above preparation , it confirms that the headache is a migraine and specific treatment based on the examination findings would be a better management.

Do discuss about the same with your treating doctor.

Mould grown in the houses can cause breathlessness, skin allergies , fever, dizziness and rarely headache of milder intensity.

Hope I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
