Common Questions and Answers about Swollen glands in neck itchy skin

swollen

i assume swollen glands in the neck means inflamed lymph nodes? our 6 yr. old was seen today for a fever and sore throat complaint. the ped. said she has a throat infection and swollen glands and prescribed meds. she did check other areas of her body for glands (at least that is what i think she was feeling for). about 7 weeks ago she had the same thing (tho the whole family passed around a fever/infection). should we be overly concerned that she has been sick like this twice in two months?

Ie wouldn't it be likely to have swollen glands in his neck and groin as well as arms? Are lymph nodes usually detectable by touch? Sight? We cannot feel any individual 'nodes' just a general noticable swelling and pain beneath the arms. There have been no other symptoms that we can think of. Are swollen glands/nodes also associated with other std's?

Sometimes when I am tired,I get a sudden burst of energy and my neck swells up a little bit and gets lumpy again.I have one soft swollen painles gland in my neck that is constant.

We are two days into the mystery rash syndrome. Today she is poorly - swollen glands and sore throat, very dehydrated. She had a headache last week but that has gone. She is a student - there has been a case of bacterial meninitis in her block recently but she is showing no sign of stiff neck or ongoing headache. She does not have a significantly raised temperature. Should I just keep closely monitoring or rush to bemused and off duty local GP?

I always have and was wondering if anyone else out there that has these swollen nodes in neck also have problems with their teeth and also wondering if problems with teeth (infections and such) could cause the nodes in the back of the neck swell up. Also, the glands in the front of my neck have always been large... these problems I've experienced have gone on for years... So, I'm hoping its nothing serious because, if it is, and I have it for years.... what chance would I have?

In January i got a sore throat and a swollen gland just under my ear lobe(about 1.5cm) about 3months later i got another sore throat and the gland below my earlobe was still there but they was a new one in my neck, just below my jaw. A few days later a skin infection came out around my lips(not itchy,peeled wen i didnt put cream on it and neva bled). It seemed like stuck on skin and when i put cream on it, the skin was coming off exposing my normal skin underneath it.

extreme fatigue, abdomen pain, breast rash and pain, insomnia, sensitivity to light and sound, joint stiffness, itchy skin rashes in various places, pain behind left jaw when chewing, sensitivity to the sun and heat, etc. Does anyone know what disease I could possibly have, or am I just being paranoid? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and God Bless!

Any bite mark or redness under the fur in that area? Dogs get quite a lot of fluid filled cysts. Some can be quite large. They can also get swollen glands just like humans, when fighting an infection. With so very many types of lumps/bumps dogs can get I would make an app. for the vet. They may just do a needle aspiration/biopsy in the office to see what type of fluid is in there and go from there. They also get hematoma's.... blood filled "pillows" so to speak.

The first time I went off the antibiotics it was the same thing, and the sores and weeping and intense itching and swollen glands (in neck and back of head) came back. I am finishing up my second course of antibiotics and the same thing - I still have the itching - so I'm worried it will come back again in full force. Anyone every had an infection with this corresponding skin condition?

I had migratory arthritis for about 5-6 days, but that has gone away. I also have a swollen gland in my neck. My blood work shows that I definitely have/had a bacterial infection and I'm slightly anemic (witha RBC of 3.91 and Hgb of 11.5 and Hct of 33.2. The thing is I'm feeling tired, but somewhat better and have been on Augmentin for 5-6 days, however, my rash is still here!

Aside from pain and swelling of the lymph nodes, and itchiness of the skin, do you have other symptoms? Painful and swollen lymph nodes could be the result of infection. A trial of antibiotic can be given to see whether the swelling and pain will subside. A diagnosis of cancer is based on the typical signs and symptoms, confirmed by biopsy. A persistent and progressively enlarging lymph nodes warrant further evaluation. It would be best to consult your doctor for proper management. Good luck.

I had a cough that started maybe 2 weeks after my one-night-stand, along with a slightly swollen gland on the right of my throat. No other glands swollen. The cough came with thick green phlegm. Went to doc, got antibiotics no good. Went back got more antibiotics (Augmentin). Seemed to work for a few days (no phlegm, but cough still there), then phlegm came back. Yesterday Doc gave me Klacid MR Clarithromycin which is a stronger...seems to be working but its only been a day.

I have had this thing on my neck for about 4 months. It started out like a blackhead and stayed small for a while. All at once it grew to about the size of a pea, unmovable and very hard. My husband thought it was a pimple and tried to squeeze it (gross, I know but it was bugging me and I couldn't reach it) In the next few days it got big, about the size of a quarter, quite red and painful, sometimes itchy. I made an appointment with my doc. but the next available appt is in 3 weeks.

I have small and large blisters all over my hands and now my feet. My skin is red and swollen and using my hands is very painful. This itching is INCREDIBLE.I also recently got a rash all over my body in a reaction to the dermatitis. I was told to do 'wet wraps' on my hands with Elocon cream which initially worked on the blisters that were already there, then new ones appeared. I looks like dermatitis 'travels' all over your hands.

Well, at first I was kinda thinking Kawasaki disease....Although this occurs in younger children..It Can (upon my reading) occur sometimes in older children... PLEASE NOTE: I am in no way saying that is what it is but that is what came to mind about feet and hands peeling..

lymphoma symptoms besides this swollen lymph gland, so would normally other symptoms be present with this gland? and also should there be more than one lymph node enlarged if it were lymphoma? I have had a blood test within the last month and everything came back normal, but wasn't sure if blood or urine tests can test for lymphoma?

I can feel a sore or a 'crack' at the corner of my mouth on the left side, and my submandibular gland (as i was told by my doctor) is swollen on my left side. I had a bad throat infection which is starting to clear up slowly, after using 2 antibiotics. Well, after abotu a week of discovering the lymph node on the left side of my neck, i decided to examine the rest of my neck. I felt around and could feel 2 more on the right side, they cant be seen tho.

My lips swell first, then my fingers immediately..Then my entire face...I have some swollen tender glands on the right side of my neck also..I have bloodwork done every 3-6 months and the last couple of times my pottasium levels have either been too high or too low..I am scared because this happens so frequently..I usually end up in the ER to get a shot of benadryl...My esophagus is usually what sends me there..It swells and I can't stand the throat and chest pains I get..

where you face and neck get swollen and I do know that my symptoms have typically started shortly before I noticed that swelling in my face and neck. The good news is taht since you are now off the prednisone, your symptoms should greatly reduce or go away in a few days - it may take a bit longer to completey go away, but you definitely should notice a decrease in a couple of days. The same with the anxiousness and racing heart.

I got a yeast infection, used the cream and it totally f'd me up!!! Swollen and itchy and pain and cramps. I was allergic to the cream so i got Diflucon (a one day pill prescription) and its getting better. Still crazy swollen .

I have a very sore left side of my neck with swollen glands. I was on norvasc and have since been given adalat and my blook pressure is up and I have palpatationsand head ache? What should I do?

I had swollen glands worst on right side of face with chin-neck on right side all swollen. took steroid pills for 3 days and clairtin, then i broke out with pimples all over my body, sometimes they are very easy to see other times i feel them but have to look hard to see them. I've had them for five days, new ones appeared on my face the 4th day and a few on my palms. Started on my back, then stomach arms and legs.

is on my face, neck, ears, the back of my neck, down my chest, my tummy, my hands, arms, and slowly working it's way down the rest of my body. It gets red, dry, itchy, swollen, and at times my skin peels because it's so dry. What I don't understand is how it can happen every month around the time of my period. Is it possible that it is a hormonal thing? None of my drs. have confirmed or denied this fact.

face are swollen too. Not my joints but my tissues. I'm kinda itchy too. Can't rub my skin at all. I feel like 1 huge bruise. My upper arms, all parts of my legs, my shoulders & back. My boobs (sorry if TMI) started to hurt so bad the 1st time it took me over & now too. I figured it was something hormonal at 1st. Then I realized it was SF taking over my body. Even my pant legs touching my calves hurt. Even a light breeze hurts or taking a shower.

A few weeks ago the symptoms started coming back with pain in my armpits, neck and groin, nothing obviously swollen, but I've been told they could be swollen under the skin. Sometimes I get pain in other areas where lymph nodes could be (behind the knees, elbows), also accompanied by a slight sore throat and ear ache. I recently went to the doctor again for another look and she "thinks" a few are swollen, but seemed kind of unsure.

In addition, I have a rash consisting of some very small red bumps on my left upper back/neck, shoulder, and chest. It is somewhat itchy and has a burning feeling. Clothing and the seat belt irritate it. My doctor tried an antibiotic first; it has been almost a week, and there is no change. Blood tests (white cell count was one of them) turned up normal. I am awaiting the results of a chest x-ray.
