Help...swelling of lymph nodes...?

I've been having terrible dental problems lately. As a result of this, I've been taking a lot of antibiotics. This seems to coincide with a symptom I've been having involving my lymph nodes. Every month or so one of the lymph nodes in my neck (it seems to alternate sides each time) swells up. It becomes painful to swallow and even inhibits me from opening my mouth all of the way. It seems to come on gradually lasting about 1-2 weeks and then dissapates gradually. Is this a sign of a fungal infection...possibly due to all of the antibiotics? I've also been experiencing my ears "threatening" infection. I can feel it start to come on, and I take probiotics and utilize garlic oil for my ears, and it seems to stave off the infection. I also remember having some unexplained abdominal pain...possibly swollen lymph nodes in that region? Any input?

And, no...I am not currently pregnant.

Best decision about lymph nodes is having a doctor evaluating them.

get checked out but i dont think ur pregnant could b an allergic reaction to the meds though stop takin them n see a doctor. sounds like a reaction
