Suggest Treatment For Neck Pain And Ringing In The Ear

I am a 16 year old male and have a swollen occipital lymph node on the right side of the back of my head. (where the neck and head meet) i also have a swollen node behind my left ear. i am on a course of antibiotics (amoxicillin 250mg) the node on the back of my head seems to have gone down like flattened. I am experiencing neck pain and ringing in my ears and occasionally earache. just today i noticed back pain but i think that was caused by cricket training. what could this be?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to an ear infection.
The swollen lymph nodes is probably a reactive lymph node.
I suggest to finish the cycle of antibiotics.
I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
I recommend using an eardrop for local application.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
