Q: swollen lymph nodes after tonsil removal

It all started about two years ago. My lymph nodes on both sides of my throat were always swollen. I went to two different doctors, both said I need my tonsils out. So last spring I went to ENT doctor and he suggested the same thing.....So I had them last summer. (worst month of my life)

So now it has been a year ago and taking my tonsils out helped NONE!!!!
My lymph nodes are swollen now more than ever and they hurt so bad. Some days it feels like they are going to blow up! Almost feels like I have a heart beat in my thoat!! I have headaches along with this, some days my ears hurt....

Went back to ENT he did a culture and found no infection and suggested I take Allegra. So I did and it worked for a while. When back to regular doctor and he suggested I take Zyrtec and it worked for a while.

Now I am back where I started in pain and hurting!!!! I hate having to take medicine, expecially when it doesn't work.It even hurts when I talk alot and sing.............
If you know anything that can help please let me know!!! Confused
