Swollen gland left side, lump in kneck

I have recently noticed my left gland is always swollen and a slight raised lump also in neck inline with my jawline.

Where do i start.. i have been having sore throats all the time (currently on 1000mg antibiotcs. Blocked sensation in both ears, and horrific facial allergys which im waiting for prescription for 

I also have; gout, fibro, arthritis, Erythema Nodusom and tor nail fungal. I recently had bloods all clear and chest x ray for another condition which was clear.

I asked the doctor if he could check my ears and just check my glands, i was told no because of the covid pandemic (im from the uk) 

To say im stressing out is an understantment. Its been like this for 2 months, the swollen gland is moveable, the neck sometimes is. Ive just checked it but it didnt move.

I have lost alot of weight to help my joints, i dont know if they are more prominent because of the weight loss but i dont seem to be being listened too. I am a single mum and petrified. I dont have night sweats where im ringing wet, infact i rarely sweat at all.

Any info would be great. Thank you xx

  • Welcome to the community Tray although I'm sorry for the worry these current symptoms are causing.

    Swollen lymph glands and nodes are regularly discussed on the forum so hopefully some of our members who are, or have been, in a similar situation will offer their support and advice to you soon.

    If you have more than one doctor at your GP surgery, you could try and get an appointment with them and get a second opinion. You can find out more just here.

    I hope you're able to get some answers soon Tray.
