My 13 year old daughter yesterday told me that like on the of her face inside of it by her ears that it hurts and it hurt to open her mouth and her head too, does anybody have any ideas of what this could be, I asked the pharmacists at winn-dixie and he said it could be the flu, I sure hope not thats just what I need too along with my sick 3 year old already, she says it's her glands that are swollen, but I don't know if thats what it is?

What can I do next?

My friend recently had to take her daughter(3yrs old)to the doctor because she had swollen glands behind her ear and they kept getting bigger. The doctor put her on antibiotics and now she is fine. Before she took her to the doctor, her daughter became feverish with night chills. I don't want to alarm you, but the doctor told her if she would have waited another day that the situation could have been fatal. I think you should take your daughter to see the doctor asap!!

I have it right now too. Feels exactly the same. Mine has since let off a little but still have green gubbery stuff in the sinuses. I also feel achy all over especially in my neck. It could be the flu, that's what I thought mine was. Chances are what your 3 year old has she will get too.

I can't wait for my two to get sick! Yea fun

Does she have a cavity in a molar? That could be it. Could be Mono. I would take her to the doctor and have her checked out if she's that uncomfortable. Give her some ibuprofen as that is an anti-inflammatory, it will help with the discomfort.
Good luck

Hi G.
Like everyone else here I would strongly suggest you take her to the Doctor. It could be a cavity, an ear wax build up or the flu. Safest route...to the doctor. Hope both your kids feel better soon.

Hi G.

Look and see if her neck looks swollen. It could be her wisdom tooth coming in, check her mouth, feel around for new tooth forming or it could sound like the start of meningitis, not to alarm you, you can nip this quickly if you get her to the FL hosp clinics, if you don't have a trusted doc.

I had those same symptoms and it exculates quickly. Take care, I'll pray for you and just get her seen. Hope it works out well. Let me know.

When I had strep throat, I hurt all over and couldn't open my mouth.

You should definitely take her to a doctor.
