A member asked:
I have had swollen glands in my throat for 3 years. i've had swabs taken that come back clean, been told could be bad allergies, but could it be std?

Swollen glands: I assume you are describing your tonsils. These get enlarged to defend you from inflammation and infection, most likely ear and sinus infections. At your age it is most probably allergies, you need to be checked by an allergist.
