Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat Associated With Enlarged Lymph Nodes

Need antibiotic treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to HCM forum.
I have read your query in detail and understand your concern.
Sore throat associated with enlarged cervical lymph nodes, not responding to supportive measures (tylenol, saline gargles) indicate a bacterial pharyngitis. In addition to supportive measures, this need antibiotics too. Usually we give azithromycin/amoxicillin+clavulonate for about 5 days. So kindly see your doctor without delay for prescription of antibiotics.
Aching and ringing in ear indicates eustachian tube dysfunction secondary to pharyngitis, and will respond to its treatment.
Meanwhile, you continue tylenol(if pain is severe, you can use ibuprofen instead)and doing frequent gargles with warm saline. Avoid cold drinks and cold atmosphere.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing for a faster cure.
Thank you.
