Posted on Sat, 15 Apr 2017
Question: For Dr. XXXXXXX Bhavsar

Hope u will be fine. Now sir i have a new problem. As you know i have problem of headache , tonsils , allergy etc. Now allergy symptoms after you medicines normalized. and i am already taking these 2 medicines. Means i dont have sneezing , throat irritation . But i was still feeling pain in or pressure in ear and some tonsil type pain. from last 2 day i am gargling with salt water 4 time as per you suggestion , and it gives me a lot comfort. in pain and also my back head pain is little bit reduced.
But sir new problem that i have is i am feeling a dull pain and slight swelling under and over my left jaw. i am confirmed my lymp nodes are swelling. how can i overcome this issue?. i am very much in trouble. I dont have as much pain that will cause difficult swallowing, i dont have fever. But from last 2 days i am feeling leg muscle tightness.

Sir in actual i am still not sure i was having tonsils or some lymp nodes which i was discussing with you. i just visit the doctor at that time and he gives me antibiotics. kindly suggest me something because as per my thinking , i think these anti allergy are not related with these tonsil's or lymp node problem. waiting for you answer

Brief Answer:
No need to worry for this swelling.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for this swelling as it is not visible outside.
The thing you are feeling inside your mouth by tongue is mostly a lymphnode.
And for this, you may take anti inflammatory drug, no need for antibiotic.
Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
It is mostly due to simple infection.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all, no need to worry for this as it is not a serious thing.
It is mostly a small lymphnode due to minor infection. So don't worry about this.
You can take diclofenac tablet for this.
Continue anti allergic drugs.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Hope I have solved your query. If you are not having further queries, then please close the conversation and rate my answer.

thanks for your reply.
Sir kindly reply these last questions. as you mentioned above a small lymphnode, but i think swelling is not in a specific area its it left sirf of jaw to ear, means sweeling is not very much but it is also not in a specific point, also a tightness or some times a slight pain in throat i feel. is that the part of same thing?
how much time it will take to normalize? and sir also tell me i have muscle tightness in legs, is that related to this?

Brief Answer:
No, these are not related.

Detailed Answer:

No, these are not related.
And my only concern is for ultrasound examination of neck is to confirm the swelling. Sometimes we imagine about them swelling but in reality there is no swelling. So get done ultrasound examination of neck.
Is it possible for you to get it done?

Brief Answer:
It is very common and not at all dangerous.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all relax.
Lymphnode enlargement is very common and it is not at ऑल dangerous.
And first confirm that it is lymphnode. Don't start assuming and worrying.
I can don't think you are having lymphnodes enlargement. So relax an get done ultrasound examination of neck whenever it is available. No need to get it done in emergency.
May I know who told you that lymphnode enlargement without fever is dangerous?
I think you are worrying too much over such small health issues. Are you?
