HI
Well come to HCM
If swollen lymph node is there in cervical region with the soar throat then this could be bacterial infection, if I would be treating doctor of this case then I would treat this with Tab Azithromycin 500 mg once in day for three days Tab Acetaminophen with Ibuprofen 400 mg as per needed, hope this information helps.
