I have gone to the Ear Nose and Throat doctor four times now, and nothing about my condition has changed. The third time I went he told me it might be a little bit of TMJ because I told him my jaw hurts sometimes, it clicks, I have earches and itchy ears. But the LUMPS I have had under my ears on my neck for nearly two years now REFUSE to go away. He keeps telling me they are swollen lymph nodes and I have allergies. He keeps putting me on prednisone, which doesn't help, antibiotics and nasal sprays. These lumps really worry me. I realized after my last appointment, I didn't tell the doctor that I have had a positive skin test for TB (2004) but I've had a baby since then and a clear chest xray so no one has been concerned about it, and I have NOT ever taken medicine for it. Could this be the reason for the swollen glands? Could I have TB in my lymph nodes and not know it? Should I call this doctor back and tell him? I don't know what to do, I don't have any insurance. HELP!

THANKS!
