I am waiting to have a needle biopsy of a lymph node that has been enlarged for ages! but I have other symptoms too. Persistent ear ache, with a feeling of fluid in the ear, head ache on one side, neck ache on the same side, pins and needles up the back of my head, need to clear my throat all the time. Dry throat. My doc just said my lymph nodes are reactive but they are feeling harder than they were, although not grown at all, still at about 1cm. Ibruprofen doesn't help. Dentist thinks I have neuralgia but. The symptoms do not fit.
I have young children, I don't want to die.
Anyone able to give me some reassurance?

I should also add, I am female, 37 non smoker, social drinker, dr has ruled out ear infection.

Oh, and many of these symptoms didn't just come on - ear ache has been about a month, head pain pretty much for ages, neck pain for months.

And sporadic tooth pain that doesn't appear infected.
