Hi Lisa,have you had any blood tests done?
Anxiety can make us feel way worse than we actually are,I had a lump under my armpit,panic panic panic,must be a tumour right?no wrong,just a swollen gland and it's still there,many months later.
Our glands can swell for many many reasons,yes,a virus but also if we are just run down,got a cold.
A dr doesn't have to look in your ears to diagnose vertigo btw so don't worry about that one.
Just go back and see him,it's not good enough that you still feel so unwell and you clearly need reassurance
Health anxiety is truly awful,most of us have suffered it on here at one time or another,so you're not alone
Let us know how you get on xx
