What Is The Cause For Swollen Neck On Both Sides Of The Gland?

Hi, I ve been getting tired really easily lately, for about the last week. The glands on both sides of the back of my neck are swollen. They go down after I nap but soon return. I ve been getting headaches too. I thought it was a sinus infection, cold, or allergies, but nothing seems to help and I can breath easily, though my ears feel clogged, but that s normal for me. My body has been sore, I work out a lot, but it feels worse than normal, and my breasts have been extremely sore. My eyes feel like there is a lot of pressure. I m not pregnant (which is the first suggestion everything online seems to like to throw at women).

i Dear,

Welcome to HCM

Understanding your concern. As per your query swollen neck on both sides of the gland might be a common viral pharyngitis or a viral infection common in child that doesn't require specific treatment apart from rest, keep her hydrated and keep the fever down. Another cause could be strep throat. I would suggest you to consult physician or ENT specialist if you are able to see swollen tonsils in her. Doctor may recommend tonsillectomy. You can give her Ibuprofen or Tylenol every 6 hours. She should rest,eat well, drink plenty of fluids. Antibiotic such as Azithromycin is effective in case of strep. infection. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
