Did Snorting Methedrone Cause Swollen Glands On My Neck And Sore Throat?

I snorted a gram of methedrone 9 days ago. I have swollen glands on my neck and sore throat. I'm feeling very run down and tired. I'm sleeping 12 hours every day and eating well. Can you advise me why my glands are bad and how long this will last or what to take

The methadrone is cleared by teh system rapidly. Let us start from where we know and proceed from there. The symptoms would be like any other sinus condition/sinus infection. The methadrone might be coincedental OR the snorting disrupted the area (it can even cause some tissue to die off!) and cause local problems. These problems could be dead tissue, inflammation, or blockage of drainage. Any of these changes in the nasal area predispose to infection. Infection wuold cause nodes/fever/run down/ etc and would respond to antibiotics. dead tissue would be more complicated.
