How To Treat A Swollen Gland In My Throat?
I have a swollen lymph node on the right side of my neck. This started in the middle of the day just 2 days ago. I have been extemely fatigued and now I have an earache on the same side as the swollen gland. The pain to swallow is something that I have never felt in my entire life. My throat itself does not hurt but just the swollen gland

Swollen and tender lymph node refers to some focus of infection in the throat as also the paob during swallowing.. The pain in the ear is explained by the fact that is known as referred pain which is coz of the fact that both the thriat and ear have similar nerve supply..! Show ur throat to an ent specialist who will start proper medicines.. Till then do warm saline gargles..
