What Causes Swollen Glands On The Face And Neck With Labrynthitis?
Hi there, I have been diagnosed with labrynthitis which started almost two weeks ago. I was given Cinnarizine which was needed for 2 days before symptoms faded. I had a busy weekend and on Sunday I became really ill again, vomiting and feeling extremely dizzy and week. I re-started the Cinnarizine but for three days this didn't help. I went back to my Doctors and was given prochlorperazine which has improved the dizzy, sickness, and feeling of a 'full/pressured' head. However, this morning I have woken up and the glands down the one side of my face and neck are huge, and sore. Is this part of the labrynthitis or do I have something else going on? Many thanks

Hello,
It can be part of the labyrinthitis. Often these types of conditions are caused by a virus and the lymph nodes swell up to help us fight off infection.
See your doctor again if the nodes do not resolve in a few weeks or if you are developing new or worsening symptoms.
