Suddenly felt like the back of my head and behind my ears is swollen and full of pressure. I noticed this when I lifted my head up and felt like I had something hard pressing on my neck.

Apparently this could be symptom of an ear infection that effects the bones, blood, and can also the brain. Obviously praying for not this. Praying it’s just something pulled. Also took advil in case of swelling or fever.

Help? I scared

Praying for your healing!
Calm down! Breath out then in slowly!
We are taking this to Jesus together!
It could just be lymph nodes that sometimes swell if you do have an ear or gland infection.
See your Physician !
We will call on the great physcian!

As mentioned earlier, it could just be lymph nodes, Steph. Try not to be anxious or nervous. :)

Currently at doctor, no fever or issues with dizziness. Heart rate is high though?? They said that yesterday to for an unrelated matter, but blood pressure is ok. We shall see.

Ok so based on what my doctor is supposing, it’s actually a couple of cysts on my head. They just happen to be around the same places on my head. He’s giving me antibiotics and doing blood work on me. Making sure everything is ok.

He said if the antibiotics don’t do anything to help the pain, I’ll need to see another doctor. Possibly to get a biopsy of the cyst (and most likely take it out just to be safe.)

Hoping either the antibiotics help or they can just drain it instead of having to cut into me.

Ew 🤣

So far right side is feeling better, left side seems to be getting more swollen. Hoping it will be where I can just have a shot put in it by like a dermatologist and have it go away. Still waiting on antibiotics, guess it was an insurance confusion. Hoping they help. Ow 🤣

Cysts don't go away on their own. If indeed that's what it is, it's most likely infected and will have to be dealt with.

So just got the antibiotics finally. Almost right away I noticed my head feeling a little less sore. They’re pretty strong, gotta take 2 a day for 10 days. We shall see what occurs

Make sure you follow the instructions. Are they to be taken with food or without?

Took only my first two doses of a very strong antibiotic, and so far feeling much better. Head is already going down.

Update: Head is doing well without swelling, though still feeling a little pain. I've been taking my regular antibiotic as well as using a heating pad, and that has helped a great great deal. Thank you everyone for your prayers, I know they've helped ♥

I just popped a couple Advil less than a minute ago before reading this post. It's advanced medicine for pain, or at least that's the claim. I will say a prayer for your malady.
