Hi there,

The swollen glands with a very sore throat and ulcerated tongue might be related to throat/mouth infection. To determine the type of infection, further culture of throat swab (for candida, pathological bacteria and virus) is needed. Depending on the results, specific treatment will be prescribed.

Until the results are in, I advise to:
- keep a good oral hygiene
- apply lidocaine cream (for oral use)
- in our practice, we prescribe Oral methylene blue solution
- avoid citrus/carbonated/too hot/spicy/chilly foods/drinks

Wish fast recovery!
