question: Hi I am 27 weeks pregnant and I have been suffering with swollen lymph nodes in my neck. My ears and throat do hurt. I have gone to see my MD twice about this problem that has been bothering me for about a month now. They prescribed me loratidine because they said they only saw water in the ears. Today my throat really hurtsand is difficult for me to swallow. No one has done any blood work as of yet and I am growing more concerned.  What should I do at this point?
