<s>[INST] I had a cold about two months ago and I went to the doctor. She said it was allergies. I had a fever, runny nose, scratchy throat, and lots fluid in my ears. They gave me zyrtec d and got a little better but never finished the dosages. A few weeks ago I started having inner ear problems, and a swollen lymph node on the same side of my neck as the infected ear, it s still bothering me a bit and the swollen node is still there. Is it due to the cold? What medicine should I take? When will it go away?(my allergies are still bothering me) [/INST] HIThank for asking to HCMI really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this could be allergic condition and the exact cause of allergy is difficult to find out only the symptomatic medicine alone would give best results and that is only can be taken in seven condition otherwise this is self limiting and would come around on its own, hope this information helps you, have a nice day. </s>
