I havent been sick and I noticed 2 days ago that the lymp nods in my neck were a little sore and swollen and then I realized that on the back of my head,I did't even know thay were there,Also hurt and they are large and swollen. I just don't know if I should worry or not....My daughter did have something called Caboloy Bactor last week. I don't think I spelled that right tho.

Your daughter had campylobacter - that is unrelated to your lymphadenopathy. the most comon cause for posterior cervical lymphadenopathy is mononucleosis from epstein barr virus. They are not related, and it is very unlikely your lumps are realted to your daughter's illness.\n\nMononucleosis usually would have associated with it fever and sore throat and fatigue. The lymph nodes usually aren't painful either.\n\nDo you haev any infected ingorwn follicles or pimples on the scalp - that could cause this too. The likelihood of malignant disease such as lymphoma is very low. Not impossible. Relax, get a good night sleep and get into the docotr in the next few days. Good luck.

Please go see a doctor.  My father complained of a major headache for two days before he went to see his doctor.  His doctor told him it was the flu, to go home and take some flu meds and just relax until monday when the rest of his test results came in.  The following morning we were taking him to the emergency room.  He had pneumancoccyl meningitis and was in a coma for eight days.  Please do not think that a pain will "go away" and go see your doctor.

I believe I would try to go to the doctor and explain that you did have what you thought was a self-diagnosed ear infection and stayed home for two weeks because of it.  It may cost you the price of an office visit but it may be worth it to save your grades.  I would think twice before taking any more time off of school for any reason, even if you feel sick in the future.  Let your teachers see that you are glad to be there and that you are going to be there, regardless.  Maybe if they see you exerting some effort, they will be less likely to request a doctor's note next time.  Good Luck.

A new blood clot could maybe be there, perhaps there is enough lateral flow to keep the swelling subsided.  But I'm thinking more likely it could be a lymphatic problem and fluid is accumulating lymphatically.  Definitely keep on top of this with your doctor!  Get well!

This also happened to me.  Probably not a big deal, but you should see your doctor just to be sure.

Scabs will take a while to develop on shingles ( they would be like sore, purple-ish, un-poppable zits right now), and the meds (probably acyclovir?) will only help curb an infection already in process, and only if taken in the first 72 hours.  Are you sick at all?  Headache, lethargy, fever?  That's how I feel with a shingles outbreak, but a big lump on neck & head doesn't sound like shingles- they travel in a line along a nerve path.\nContact a pharmacy to see if your anti-biotic & the shingles meds are even compatable.  Finish out the meds if they are, and go back if you don't feel better.  If they aren't compatable, go back immediately & ask for lab tests(if there are any) to determine exactly what it is so you can have the appropriate course of treatment.

It sounds like an inflamed lymph node, nothing serious. Lymph nodes are the body's way of saying you have an infection somewhere near that area. Yes, go to the doctor.

My feet are getting heavy, and I've lost feeling in my toes. What is that odd sensation in my stomach - like rocks weighing heavily?? My back is stiff, so I try to move. Man, my feet are heavy. I move my legs and it's as if someone  tied cement blocks to them. A creeping sensation moves up my legs, and I stop trying to move them. \nMy eyes hurt. My head feels stiff, as if my skin is crunchy. I try to call out, but my mouth doesn;t want to move - like I am wearing a clay mask and it has dried. What is happenieng to me? My fingers are stiffening, and I am now numb to the waist. I can't move my legs!!  I try to scream, but my vocal cords are too frozen. My nose is numb.  My breasts are starting to feel heavy as lead, and I can hardly hold up my head. The numbness creeps downward, and my fingers are like bananas as I try to type. IO amn makl[oing so manny typpos .. I cannnottr type wellllll,... I cannnt breeeaathe .. sdhfgsdajklllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

My youngest daughter woke up with a sore throat, took her to the doctor, while I was there, my oldest daughter calls from school to tell me that she is sick & needs me to pick her up ~ fun filled exciting day for me !  At least I did have a good weekend though.

You should see an endocrinologist.  I doubt that it is cancer, but something glandular is going on?  Are the lymph nodes in your armpits swollen also?\n\nAlso, are you male or female?  Can you clench your teeth?\n\nYou should definitely see at doctor soon.  I think you're a bit young for hodgkins or any other lymphoma.  But it could be something serious (but curable).  Plus, hopefully you've had a mumps vaccination.  This is a symptom of mumps but if you were vaccinated when you were a child you will be protected from this.  However, there is an outbreak of mumps recently, so make sure you check whether you have received it or not. \n\nIf your doctor won't see you today or soon, you should probably see another doctor.  Even at 17, you have to take charge of your own health and well-being.

It seems as though you have strained your neck muscles as well as subluxating your cervical vertebrae. This will take soe time to heal as s muscle strain involves the tendons. The tendons are avascular meaning without blood vessels.  As such there is no exchange of nutrients and wastes making it take longer to heal. As time passes it should get better and the pain and nausea will pass altogether. I have had this happen to me and my clients before in almost the same way.  Were you undergoing some serious stress during that time that you slept incorrectly?  I ask as it would seem to be the common denominator.  Good luck and don't do anything strenuous that would involve your neck or it will exacerbate the original injury.  Oh, btw, when the swelling completely subsides, may I suggest a series of massages to prevent any future spasms or flare ups?  It helps!

Your lymph nodes swell because they are fighting infections or the flu. Your doctor knows best, and if he said not to worry about them, then don't. I get swollen lymph nodes in my neck just before I get a cold or the flu. I hope you feel better!

You probably have a stomach virus, especially because Thanksgiving just passed and if you celebrate it I'm pretty sure you might of over ate but you probably should drink some ginger ale for your tummy ache and for fatigue I'm guessing take along hot bath rest your body and you could try a heating pad on your neck and back and I hope you feel better

It's me again. Gordy in South Portland, Maine. That gooey stuff are your eyes, trying to heal themselves. You may possibly have a little irritation in your eyes, still. If you have a family doctor, he can take a peek and prescribe an eye rinse for you to keep your eyes clean while they are healing. Because this is such a pain in the neck to you, I would think a quick visit to your doctor, or even a walk-in clinic, would end a lot of useless worry about it. The best part about doctors and clinics is that almost all of the  time they have seen all this before and they will know exactly what to do for you. A fantastic eye rinse you can pick up at the pharmacy, over the counter, is Collyrium. It comes in a 4 ounce bottle with an eye cup on top to use. All it is is boric acid, sodium borate and water, preserved with benzalkonium chloride (0.01%). Don't let that fancy language scare you. It's great stuff, and after you slosh it around in your eyes for about thirty seconds, you can feel the itching go away and your eyes getting a decent chance to heal themselves. Your best bet, and the one that I'd opt for because it's the shortest route to home plate, is just see your doctor or clinic. They have stuff even better than the stuff I just recommended to you and it will also shorten the time you have to be bugged it this. I sometimes get allergic reactions to stuff after being out on my bicycle for long rides in the Maine countryside, and this eye wash Collyrium knocks it out pretty quick. Hope I haven't upset you with all this information. I will be holding a very strong thought which goes like this: let him get his eyes in good shape again before this Saturday. Good luck to you from  - G. in South Portland, Maine., U.S.A.

Hi. I am a RN and and many things can contribute to swollen tender breasts...even a chest cold! Most people don't know that. Take a pregnancy test if that is a possibility. If negative then yes probably just hormones. I would lay down and put your hand on that side behind your head and feel your armpit region for swelling also. Sometimes your lymph nodes can get swollen. If they are then go to the doctor. Could be nothing, could be something. Too much caffeine can cause the lymph nodes to swell which in turn causes the breast to hurt. Start at step one and take it from there okay. Good Luck and feel better soon! Tender breasts hurt! Oh, Ibuprofen works great!
