Suggest Remedy For Throat Pain & Swollen Glands

my throat hurts really bad almost feels like my glands are swollen or lymph nodes but their not i also don t have a problem swallowing just a lot of pain. I m going to the dr. tomorrow but today i took half of a 10 mg oxycodone. i was wondering if it would be ok to take a vicodin 7.5 the oxycodone did nothing for the pain is it ok to take that? or what should i do? i also tried warm salt water and hot tea still nothing. do you possibly know what could be wrong?

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic

I went through the history you have posted.
It seems from the history that you are having throat pain and swollen glands. The swollen glands are because of enlargement of the lymph nodes. Throat pain is because of pharyngitis or laryngitis. Since the lymph nodes are enlarged this is probably infective in nature.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Do consult your doctor for further examination and prescription of drugs.


Do write back to me for further questions.
