Swollen face glands
My husband has severe RA in multiple joints. Today we noticed both side of his face by his ears are swollen. I’m assuming glands. Do RA meds cause this? It seems that we blow everything off to side effects. His next appt w RA dr. is 6/22. We will be asking him too. I was just curious today. Hoping to ease his mind some.
Thank you for reaching out. It's great that you are attentive to new signs and symptoms. I'd encourage your husband to speak with his doctor about any new, changing or concerning symptoms. In addition to speaking with his doctor, this article from one of our contributors may be helpful: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/swollen-lymph-nodes. Wishing your husband some answers and relief soon. Best to you both, Kelly, Rheumatoidarthritis.net team Member Thank you. I will read the article.
