Swollen Gland

[hollie1586]

couple of days ago i started with a swollen gland right under the bottom of my ear lobe, at the side of my jaw....has anyone else had this before? also do swollen glands make your neck ache a little?!

[cazzz1975]

yes they do make your neck ache, its probably an infection, although uncomfortable they do go away by themselves, if it swells however then you may need a short course of antibiotics

i dont think that it is as swollen as it was! i tend to worry too much about things lol

Yes - often. Sometimes hard and pea sized, at other times larger and softer. They can make your neck and ear ache.

It usually cures itself.

If you have a temperature and feel unwell for more than a couple of days, think about seeing your GP.

I've had that problem on the left side of my neck. I was too scared to go to the GP so I feel a bit better reading these answers. :-)
