What Causes Sore Throat Along With Fatigue And Swollen Lymph Nodes?

I have had a sore throat, swollen glands and fatigue since Friday ( 5 days). No fever. Resting, drinking fluids and taking airborne and Tylenol. Not getting worse but not getting better. I keep thinking it is viral. Not sure if I should go to doctor.

Hi Dear.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sore throat along with fatigue and swollen lymph nodes which seems to be due to strep throat which is a bacterial infection and it could be due to tonsillitis. Need not to panic about it. I would suggest you to start with proper course of antibiotics to subside infection and take Calpol as well to avoid throat pain. Avoid spicy and rough food. Take diet rich in soft food. Take anti inflammatory medications. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Get blood tests done if required and start treatment accordingly. You should sip on lukewarm water and take throat lozenges.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
