Swollen glands for a week ,should i bother seeing the GP?

[Beauregard]

Am a wreck atm seem to have nothing right with me .I am also very tired,lethargic and out of breath easily.
Gland in front of ear very tender and swollen as are several others in my neck.
I am currently on Pennicillin for a skin infection.

I have been so many times to the GP lately (inc early this week)that i am actually too embarrassed to go

probably the glands are swollen from your infection. But if you are feeling generally poorly I would go to the GP. You might have an underlying problem,-for instance being a bit anaemic,-which is making you run down.

Don't be embarrassed to go to the doctor, if you're not well, you're not well. If there were no patients - they'd all be out of work!

Thanks for replying

I just worry that they will think i am a hypocondriac as i seem to have one health problem after another lately.

I'm sure they won't think that - with what you describe, it seems very reasonable to return. Do your anti-biotics finish soon? if so I'd pop back when they do, and say you're still not feeling right.

Tell them how tired you are feeling, they might do some blood tests or something. Don't soldier on if you're feeling rotten, (bear in mind the fact that you feel ill, will make you feel a bit 'down', and therefore more anxious about 'bothering' the doctor IYSWIM).

Hope you start feeling better soon

Antibiotics finish in 2 days
Maybe my GP practice is not that friendly.I always feel that i am inconviencing them.
Thanks will see how i am next week.
