My entire body was in pain and I took Advil throat spray and eating cold / chicken noodle soup and everything thing went away. But I m still left with swollen glands/ a sore throat and unable to open my jaw all the way. Please help what is going on and this has been going on all this has happened in 6-8days

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The swollen glands may take a while to resolve. It can take up to 4 weeks in some cases for improvement.
Since the sore throat has been ongoing for over a week you may want to visit your doctor for an assessment to determine if the infection is bacterial and not viral.
If it is bacterial then you would need to take a course of antibiotics.
I hope this helps
