Question: Hi there, I have woken up this morning with two visible swollen glands in my groin area. Throat slightly sore but nothing major. Only other thing to note is that I have 3 migit bites on my leg (same side as swollen glands). I am flying home from holidays today so would appreciate help. Thanks

Brief Answer:
Ibuprofen and antihistamine to start with

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The bites on the same side might have caused local reaction as well as caused the lymph nodes swollen as reactionary lymph node enlargement. You may please take an anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen if it suits you and an antihistamine.

Sometimes oral steroids may help further but you need a valid prescription for it from your doctor. This will help for sore throat too. I also hope that there is no fever, body ache or other constitutional symptoms.

I hope this answer helps you. Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication. Please let me know if you have any other symptoms.

Take care.

Regards
