General & Family Physician 's  Response
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.
