What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes And Mouth Ulcers?

Hi Dr., I have swollen glads, hard time swallowing and it appears there may be blisters on my tongue in the middle mostly at the back of the tongue, lots of them. Started on last Saturday, getting worse! I have no other flue like symptoms. I've never had a flue that acts like this before so I'm looking for a professional opinion!

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Swollen glands along with tongue blisters can be an indication of infection that can be bacterial or viral in nature..
You should consult a Physician and get evaluated along with an oral swab culture and blood test to rule out the exact nature of infection..
If there is bacterial infections antibiotics like Amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin etc can be advised..
Along with it anti inflammatory painkillers like Advil can be advised..
Do cool compresses over the swollen glands..
Do warm saline gargles..
If the bumps on tongue are painful you can gargle with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
