Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Node In The Throat And Sore Throat

Hey there. I ve had some throat sores and a very enlarged right throat gland that is tender and the size of a golf ball. Today I woke up with a small rash of red dots (not raised) on my stomach on the left side. I have also had diarrhea for the last 6 hours or so. Thoughts?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query swollen lymph node in the throat and sore throat symptoms of strep throat which is a bacterial infection. Need not to panic about it. I would suggest you to

1) Avoid spicy and rough food. Take diet rich in soft food.

2) Sip on luke warm water and take throat lozenges

3) Antibiotics are first line of treatment option in this case. In case of mild fever you can take Calpol or paracetamol for relief as well as it will relieve throat pain too.

4) Hot milk with a pinch of turmeric boiled with it at bed time for 2-3 days as it has antimicrobial action.

50 Take anti inflammatory drugs such as Levocetrizine

If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Maintain oral hygiene. Take proper course of antibiotics. Get blood tests done if required.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
