Need Medication For Swollen Glands On The Left Side Of The Neck
I have swollen glands on the left side of my neck, for 12 days now. Can't cough/sneeze/laugh without severe stabbing pain in abdomen & under left rib. Lochia got worse after a little activity and it had tapered off. Birth was 2 weeks ago with no complications.

Dear patient thank you for the question.
Swollen glands warrants a physical examination by your gp as it could be salivary glands, lymph nodes or tonsils or even a swollen thyroid gland
If you have fever and trouble swallowing it could be your tonsils in which case AMoxicillin +clavulinic acid 650mg for 5 days should help. THis is an antibiotic. For the pain ibuprofen 800mg sos is to be taken
However swelling on the left side of neck is a vague term and i again suggest you should get yourself examined
