I Have Been Having Swollen Neck Glands, And A Mild

Posted on Tue, 30 Oct 2018

Question: I have been having swollen neck glands, and a mild vaginal itch this past month. Sometimes my ears also feel pressure, or hurt a little. Not sure what to make of it.. I will be seeing a doctor once my health insurance kicks in, but this isn't for another 20 days or so

Brief Answer:
Could be due to infection around head and neck.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
Glands in the neck may be due to infection in and around head and neck esply ear , nose or mouth.It may not be cured completely with amoxicillin.
I don't think it has any connection with itching in vagina.
Yeast infection is the commonest cause after allergy.If foul smelling discharge, suppositories of medicines can be kept in vagina for 3 to 6 days according to the infection.
Feel free to ask your doubt with more details

Detailed Answer:
Hi
It is very difficult to comment about swollen glands in neck without direct examination. There are so many reasons for this.Infection is one of the cause.
I suggest you to get it evaluated by your physician directly. If it is due to infection it can be cured easily with antibiotics

Hello, thank you for the help. If this is some kind of infection will I need medications for it to go away, or it is possible it will figure itself out? Also there is no strange smell in the discharge, and will only itch a couple times a day
