sore ear and now cheek (parotid gland) after cats claw increase

Have yo done any lymph massages on that area? I have lymph swelling a lot when I'm fighting these infections, as it's the first "filter" of the bloodstream, so they get "clogged" from time to time.

Here's a good 'how to' video on lymph massages if you need to see one - although you only want to do the massages until your lymph node is a little sore - and don't use much pressure at all. If you can only rub them for, say 1 minute and need to stop, then stop - just be sure to rub on them whenever you think of it and remember, very little pressure, as you are only trying to stimulate them to keep moving.

dbwilco is there a way you can cut your cat's claw pills in half?? It sounds to me like you upped your dose too much to quickly and that is why you herxed.

Lymph needs lots of water to continue to hydrate.

And my lymph nodes in my neck and head loved cold on them. I think it calmed down the inflammation.
