Suggest Remedy For Swollen & Inflamed Lymph Nodes
Since January, I have been overly prone to sinus infections. My lymph nodes have also been swollen. I was suggested the idea of having allergies - thus causing the inflamation of my lymph nodes and sinus infections. I have been on Zyrtec for a week now. It has helped with the sinus pressure, migraines, and difficulty swallowing. Now I have the sensation that something is stuck in my throat. Turns out, a taste bud is overly swollen at the back of my tongue - near the other sensitive areas of my onset allergies. what can i do to lessen the sensation?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Allergies can cause enlargement of the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes can enlarge due to an inflammatory or infectious process.
The use of a topical steroid nasal spray along with the anti histamine may help to reduce the symptoms.
The combination may also help with the abnormal sensations.
I hope this helps
