Can Heat Packs Reduce Swelling In Neck?

I have a few lymphnodes (sp?) In my throat that are quite swollen and painful. My throat is red with loads of clear mucus but no puss. I do not have my tonsils and it feels like i just got them out again. I have been drinking warm tea and honey and taken a tylenol 500 as it has been the only relief ive gotten but it isnt quite enough. Would it help if i put a warm pack on my neck to help the swelling? Is there anything else i should try?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such throat symptoms could be due to allergic condition and in my opinion it can be well managed with "Tab Loratadine" three times in day, some time hyperacidity may be the associated cause and it can be managed together and for this try 'Tab Omeprazole 40 mg" once in day, hope this is information helps, take care and have a nice day.
