Pain after drinking alcohol

[filthiestfis]

Quite often after having an alcoholic drink I get very intense pain behind my ears. It happens when I swallow and lasts up to an hour. I think that it has something to do with the acidity on the saliva glands. Does anyone else suffer this pain when consuming alcohol?

To rephrase Tommy Cooper ' doctor it hurts when I do that ' ' well ,don't do it then'

guys, can I have serious answers,please!

[ChuckFickens]

yeah get to your doctors and get it checked.

That is the area of your lymph glands and it may indicate possible lymphoma or other lymphatic related problem.

[ChuckFickens]

sorry should have said one of your lymph glands (or nodes) you have a lot more than those.

See above- 'dreamer56'. It could be alcoholic neuropathy, or an allergy to the alcoholic drink. Red wine can-sadly- contain ingredients renowned for allergic reactions. I have searing ankle pain, and I am now thinking it follows alcohol consumption,maybe especially red wine! It's so damned annoying that I dud not enter my consumption patterns in a diary, but one doesn't feel like it when writhing in a foetal position for about 10-20 seconds!
