I had a bad neckache and headache five days ago. Now I have extremly swollen lymph nodes behind my ears and in my throat. Pus is oozing from the ones by my tongue. It also feels as though my left ear is now infected, as it makes noises when i painfully swallow. The nodes in my neck are about two inches in diameter. I've also noticed swelling under one arm pit, the left, which is also the same side that is sore when i swallow. what do ya think?

I would recommend seeing a physician promptly for diagnosis and treatment.
