Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat And Swollen Neck
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. The symptoms of your husband seem to be related to a chronic tonsillitis. The swollen neck can be related to reactive lymph nodes. I would recommend you to use anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day. I also recommend to use a throat spray and drink liquids. Antibiotic may be needed. You should consult your doctor about the prescription. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
