Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Lymph Node

hi, on and off for the past week my right lymph node under my jaw/at side of neck has been swollen, and my throat is redder than normal, and is kind of sore. In addition, my neck is kind of stiff. The only reasons I can think of that might explain it are that i went to a concert 5 days ago and did alot of head bobbing/"dancing", or maybe my allergies are flaring up badly?

Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain swollen lymph nodes in the neck along with redness in throat and soreness can be due to throat infection which can be bacterial or viral in nature..
Due to infection there seems to be Reactionary Lymphadinitis and it will gradually resole as the infection will resolve..
You can take a course of antibiotics like Levofloxacin for 5 days.
Take Ibuprofen for reducing pain and inflammation.
Do warm saline gargles and steam inhalations.
Avoid hot and spicy foods.
Drink plenty of fluids and sip on luke warm water throughout the day..
Do warm compresses over lymph nodes..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
