<s>[INST] Hi I am 27 weeks pregnant and I have been suffering with swollen lymph nodes in my neck. My ears and throat do hurt. I have gone to see my MD twice about this problem that has been bothering me for about a month now. They prescribed me loratidine because they said they only saw water in the ears. Today my throat really hurtsand is difficult for me to swallow. No one has done any blood work as of yet and I am growing more concerned.  What should I do at this point? [/INST] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection or pharyngitis.  It causes reactive hyperplasia of your cervical lymph node.  You should go for complete blood count and take a course of antibiotics.  If lumps doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. </s>
