Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My throat feels swollen and bruised not like a normal itchy sore throat. When I feel my neck just under my chin i feel a hard pea size bump. I don t have a runny nose,cough or fever. I just woke up and it was hurting and it s feeling more worse as the day goes on. Also I m having a hard time swallowing anything.
Hi, It seems that you are having a throat infection which is why the draining lymph nodes are enlarged and painful.
I would like you to have a course of anti-biotics like amoxyclav, anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen, anti-allergic containing fexofenadine, and a betadine gargle in the required dosage.
Gargle with warm saline water twice daily, Avoid exposure to dust and cold. I hope this would help you to get relief from your problem. Take care
