I have had ear infection, outter ear infection, sore throat

This time I have no symptoms just a swollen gland

It is big enough to see

I think me & the GP need a little chat - but you know it's going to be a virus

didn't you go to the gp a few weeks ago, or did you then leave it afterall, cos the symptoms got better?
Definitely time to have a chat to your gp...

however, it might just be a matter of being run down..because we catch infections easier then, and often our glands swell when their is an infection....try to boost your immunesystem...can't do any harm, eh!

Yeah - of course I left it.........I'm a bit of a pratt

I guess I'm worried it might be my ME struggling to cope
