Title: In 6th week of Harvoni & pain in the ears & swollen lymph on the same side
Post by: SnowWhite on May 25, 2018, 02:40:28 pm

Is there anyone who experienced pain in the inside of ears and swollen lymph nodes on the same side while taking Harvoni? I started developing the pain at second week of medication. I have sleep apnea and wear a CPAP at night. I noticed using CPAP definitely aggravates the ear pain so I had to adjust the air pressure.

If you have developed ear pain seemingly associated with HA, did the pain eventually subside by itself during your treatment or it got worsened? If worsened, did you take medications like antibiotics?

Have you seen your general practicioner to treat your symptoms?

I would start there.

Antibiotics are medicines used to treat a wide variety of infections or diseases caused by bacteria, such as respiratory tract infections (eg, pneumonia and whooping cough), urinary tract infections, skin infections and infected wounds.

Unless your symptoms are caused by a bacterial infection antibiotics are not the correct treatment.
