Suggest Treatment For Coughing And Swollen Gland On Left Side
Question: I had the respiratory flu last week. I'm feeling better except for some coughing. But I had a swollen gland on the left side, about the size of a large grape. Do you think I need to see a doctor?
Brief Answer:
It's is not unexpected. No need seeing a doctor now!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
A cold can produce the swollen glands. Given the symptoms and time of onset, it is most likely due to the reaction by these glands to control the infection. There is no need for further treatment and you should not bother seeing a doctor at this time.
I hope this helps. I Wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
