Suggest Treatment For Sore And Painful Lymph Node Under Left Jaw

A lymph node on the left dSide under the jaw has been sore and very painful for three days. On the first night I had diarrhea with black stools. I also felt nauseated but did not throw up. I also had the worst heartburn I have ever felt it was a very painful burning sensation throughout my chest and neck. It was not received with Prilosec, but I did find relief with famotazine. This has continued for three day getting less painful daily. I also felt a low temperature.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms nausea and diarrhea along with black stools indicates stomach infection and rise is temperature is due to infection from stomach entering blood stream and body tried to wall off the infection leading to rise in temperature..
The swollen lymph nodes are due to the generalized infection that has caused Reactionary Lymphadenopathy causing swollen painful lymph nodes..
Nothing to worry take a short course of antibiotics like Metronidazole..
For heart burn take antacid like Milk of Magnesia..
Take furozolidone (lomofen) tablet for loose motion..

Avoid hot and spicy food..
Take more of Probiotics like Yoghurt..
Drink lots of water to maintain hydration..
You can do cold compresses over lymph nodes for reducing Inflammation and swelling..

Hope this information helps.
