What Causes Swollen Glans In Neck & Cheek?

I have swollen glands in my neck and cheek only on the left side. I also have swollen bumps on left side of my head that started oozing. Now my left eye and above my eye (eyebrow area) is also swollen. My pharmacist thinks it s an allergic reaction to Linsinopril which I have been taking for about 5 months now. My doctor changed my prescription today but isn t convinced it s the meds.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an infection. Your glands, or lymph nodes, can swell in response to infection. Swollen nodes are usually located close to the sight of the infection. They are not related to an allergic reaction. Glands can also swell due to bacterial infections that require antibiotics. A physical examination is needed for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
