Hello
It seems from the history that you are having cough associated with swollen glands. This indicates sore throat as in bronchitis you tend to have breathing difficulties.
The treatment of the condition is by using antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and mucolytics.
Use of salt water gargling and cough lozenges will provide rapid symptomatic relief.
Thank you
