Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, your pain and swollen glands need a FNAC done from your glands to ascertain the pathology, and in my opinion, taking alopathic medicine as far as infection is concerned is better.
now you have plethora of other issues, like
depression, which can cause increase in your pain. My advice to you is to try and involve yourself in work so that you do not pay too much attention to your pain, see depression itself cause increase in pain, also note that healing has a lot to do with how we think, so think healthy, do exercises regularly, mingle with people, and enjoy the festival called life. see how slowly all your problems will vanish.
have a happy and healthy living.
I hope that answers your query. If your want any more clarification, contact me back.
Dr Narender Saini
