HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, no this is not the meningitis and no need to worry about this, the swelling could be due to lymph node swallowing difficulty could be due to GERD (Gastro esophageal reflux disease) and this can be well manage with "Tab Omeprazole 40 mg and Domperidone 30 mg" once in day for six weeks, hope this information, take care and have a nice day.
