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.
