Constant earache/sore throat neck pain

Hey all

im new to this, so I'll be brief, I had a sore throat last year & swollen lymph node was given antibiotics told if the lump gets bigger or worse come back....never gave it a second thought as the sore throat went but the lump didn't...fast forward I kept waking up with a sore throat earache on one side (been a good month or 2) I felt my neck & remembered the lump took me begging & crying to doctors just to get a gp appointment by this time im getting sharp pains in my neck earache is intolerable anyway they've sent me for blood tests & urgent referral to ent anyone had this? Could it be a cyst pressing on my nerve or ?? Im so stressed with it all

  • Hi there I have exactly the same. I had the biopsy with a needle 2 years ago. It is a reactive lymph node. However I had flu before Christmas and the node is huge and I am in agony. Now have another urgent referral to ent consultant. You need to push for a needle biopsy to rile it anything sinister. It's not pleasant but they do it under ultra sound and measure the nose. They can't remove mine as it's right on all the nerves to the brain. I've read that the covid vaccine can cause this too good luck jo
