getting worse. there was nothing to drain
from bug bite. don't know what type of bug

worse. all my joints are hurting.

Current medical treatment: synthroid .15mg

According to the symptoms that you report
including swollen lymph nodes, sore
throat, pain in the ears and joints, you
could be experiencing some kind of
inflammation.The connection with that
insect bite and the location of the
inflammation are unclear. You'll need to
perform several diagnostic procedures that
include a blood count, sedimentation rate,
CRP, mono-test, microbiological smears
from the nose and throat etc. in order to
identify the precise cause of the
symptoms. You can consult an infectologist
about your symptoms for advice and an
office consultation.
