How To Treat Lymph Node Swelling?

3 days ago after I eat lunch I notice my lymph node was starting to swell and it hurt to touch. im not a big fan of going to the doctor. I have done some research and I think im coming down with a cold because I split up mucus. is there anything I can take at home without going to the doctor? thanks so much

thanks for your query, i have gone through your question, the lymphnode enlargement is due to any infection in the oral cavity or neck region...consult a oral physician to rule out these infections....it can be secondary to cold also...without knowing the absolute cause you can not take self medication. the swelling could also be secondary to any obstruction in the salivary gland duct due to stone in the duct... ..you can do saline gargling 3-4 times daily... i hope my answer will help you...
