12 days ago I woke up with a sore ear. went to the dr.five days later, he gave me a 5 day antibiotic, and some vicodine. for fluid behind the ear. I have since had horrible headaches and now a swollen gland on the right side. I went back to ugent care. he tested me for sprep. that was negitive. He told me to gargle with salt water, and give it a few more days. I will be moving in a couple of weeks and know I can't drive 18 hundred miles feeling like this. can you help?
