Suggest Home Remedies For Neck Swelling And Throat Tightness
My neck looks swollen and had been this way for a month. My throat feels tight, I feel dehydrated despite drinking a lot of water, and nausea. I went to the emergency room when it first started to get swollen and the doctor claimed it was a strep throat and gave me penicillin but now the symptoms are becoming bad again. What could it be and are there any at home remedies for it?

Hallo,
Strep throat is caused by Streptococcal bacteria.But if you have cold symptoms such as coughing,sneezing or runny or stuffy nose, you probably do not have strep throat.
Doctors usually treat strep throat with antibiotics.Antibiotics also may help you feel better faster.
In Ayurveda,
1.Take 5gms Thirikadugu churnam with honey three times a day.
2.Take Septilin tab twice daily with hot water.
3.Take 100 ml hot water.Add half tsp black pepper powder, one tsp salt, half tsp cinnamon powder and allow it to rest till turns lukewarm.Gargle with this mixture two times a day.

Hello
It would be helpful if you can provide more detail regarding your ailment in terms of associated symptoms, age, any other medical issues ? and report if any.
In any case i would prescribe you the following (Not home remedy)
1. Amruthotara kashaya (Kottakal or Arya Vaidya Shala Pharmaceuticals) - 1 tablespoon + 4 tablespoon warm water - twice - half an hour BEFORE food.
2. Kaishora Guggulu (Same Pharma as above or Baba Ramdevs Patanali Pharmaceuticals) - 2 tab each - thrice a day - after food - with warm water (You can reduce the dose to 1 tablet each after you see a dip in the severity of the symptom, which should happen in a couple of days from the intake)
3. Agastya Rasayana (Kotaaidy or Vaidya Ratnam Pharmaceuticals ) - 1tsp - bed time - with warm water.
You may continue the medicine for as long as it takes for the symptoms to disappear without stressing out about the side effects, which are nil by the way. You can even resume the use of same after discontinuation, in future, if ever you feel the need to.
Hope this was useful.
Warm Regards
