I am a professional gardener in my mid fifties and I suffer with hayfever.  This year I have had swollen glands in my neck, the first one was on my left side and came up at the beginning of April, however this seems to be spreading to the one above.   I also have swollen glands where my neck meets my shoulder.  In the past week a gland has become enlarged on the righthand side of my neck.  All are tender when touched.  I have been to my GP and have had a series of blood tests whicChatDoctore back as normal.  He also sent me for a chest xray and this also came back as okay.  He seems to think it is something to do with my hayfever and the fact that I work outside 5-6hrs a day.  I would just like confirmation that this could be the case or should I insist on further tests.  I seem to have a mild sore throat and a cough but these symptons are definitely worse some days than others and I think are most certainly related to the gardening.  I do not have any other symptons such as night sweats, tiredness, loss of weight etc
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Here you have hay fever that is allergic rhinitis like condition to allergen... Try to avoid exposure to pollen, dust and pollutants... Take antihistamines Chat Doctor. ... Decongestent oxymetazoline spray can be taken. Here as you have swollen glands to relieve inflammation short term steroid can be used like methyl prednisolone. Do FNAC from swollen gland .... Take care.
