Go to the doctor Or wait it out?!


Question: Go to the doctor Or wait it out.?
I have a very large swollen gland on the left side of my neck.. This gland is making my jaw hurt and when ever I move my head my neck hurts very badly.. Lately I have noticed that I have been quite tired.. Should I go see a doctor or just rest up and wait until it goes away on its own.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
You need to go to the doctor and have the gland checked.. He may want to run some test on you to rule out any disease process.. At any rate you have an infection that needs to be treated.. Left untreated it could continue into a systemic blood infection..Health Question & Answer

I would definately get this checked out.. It could mean alot of different things! I wouldn't even wait.. One thing it could be (I'm not a doctor, just suggesting something) is a thyroid condition.. I have hypothyroidism, which means your body doesn't produce enough hormones so your body can work "normally.." My thyroid glands, on occasion will get large and cause pain in my neck and even hurt when I swallow..

This, of course, is a suggestion, I am not a doctor, nor do I work in the health care field.. Hope this helps, and good luck at the doctors!Health Question & Answer
