A member asked:
Recently my neck started swelling on both sides and the same time i got an ear infection, could that be related. it is now the second day and the swelling is not going down

YES: This sounds like an infection settling into your cervical lympg nodes. Expect the swelling to worsen and I strongly suggest an examination and strep test. Use Advil or Aleve if not allergic to NSAIDS. Tylenol Extra Stength is also an acceptable alternative.
