Hello ,

Thanks for consulting HCM

I have read yor query an understand your concern . As far swollen throat is concerned this can be due to allergic reaction or strep throat . For this i will suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for clinical examination . Inmeantime do warm saline gargle 2 to 3 times a day . You can take medicine like Azithromycin or cefixime by consulting with local doctor .

Hope this will help you .
