What Causes Swollen Glands On One Side Of Throat?

Hi, I was told that I am intolerant to sulphur and I had wind on the weekend. I now have swollen glands on the one side of my throat. This has happened to me before and I seem to remember it happening whenever I have had too much wine to drink. Is this possible related to the sulphur intolerance?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
I think you are talking about sulfa medicines that you are intolerant about.
Swelling on one side of neck on having excessive wine can be due to the following reasons:
Submandibular salivary gland on that particular site can get inflamed causing all such a problem secondary to inflammatory effect.
Another reason could be enlarged lymp nodes.
This can be diagnosed by the following.
High resolution ultrasonography and FNAC if the lymph node is seen to be enlarged.
Tests of blood and urine.
A course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication.
If not effective, surgical excision.
This will help to get rid of the disease and get an appropriate his to pathological diagnosis.
This does not look sulpha related as wine does not contain sulfa.
