Reoccuring ear infection with enlarged lymph node Posted: 12-07-07 13:39pm
I am a 28yr old female and I for the past
6 or more weeks now I have had an ear
infection that will not clear up with 4
different kinds of Antibiotics. This is my
first infection for 20yrs as I had
infections when I was 4 or 5. I am already
scheduled to see an ENT about a 2 year old
enlarged Lymph node on my neck (right
side). My ear infection is on the left.
The enlarged Lymph node has been growing
the past 2 years, but has been doing a
waxing and waning effect. Right now it is
at it's largest 1. 5-2cm and it is not
painful. I can also feel new small Lymph
nodes on the same chain (on the right) and
some on the left that I could not feel
before. My GP told me he has run out of
options and that if this course of
Antibiotics does not work we will just
have to wait to see the ENT in January. If
the largest 2yr old Lymph node was already
present and I have had 4 courses of
Antibiotics what is the likelyhood that it
could be because of an infection? Would be
be feasible for me to not know I had an
ear infection for 2yrs? I know I have a
higher chance of getting Lymphoma because
I have Celiac Disease, but I guess the ENT
will have to do a biopsy for sure.

i recomend you to try the EARDOc- find it
at eardoc.info
The EARDOC is the only efficient non
invasive device that reduces the pain and
edema for ear pain The EARDOC treats the
problem and not the symptom. About 75% of
children up to age 4 suffer from Ear ache
caused by the accumulation of liquids and
air in the middle ear.
