General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, Welcome to Ask a Doctor services.
I have reviewed your query & can understand your concern.

Since you are having throat problems & have just got rid of glossitis;
I suggest you to stay away from addictions of any kind. Visit ER or an ENT Specialist & get examined physically. It looks like infection & enlargement of lymph nodes. You can take medications like Doxycylin or Cefixime, for pain you can take Tylenol or Ibuprofen. Use saline water or a medicated mouth wash & gargle three to four times a day. Lumps in throat should heal but those that do not heal can be indicative of throat cancer. Stay away from addictions, take nutritious healthy food and get evaluated. You will have to go through some tests & investigations to rule out any malignant disease. Do not delay, get treated.

Regards,
Dr Nupur K
