Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat, Swollen Gum And Stiffness In Neck

I had my wisdom teeth pulled about 10 yrs ago. This past week I had a very sore throat, leading to almost losing my voice. Today was the first day it seemed to be better but now the site where my lower left wisdom tooth was is swollen and sore and my glands below my ear hurt on the outside with also a little neck stiffness on the left side.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swollen gums, stiffness in the neck and swollen lymphnodes can be secondary to the infection of the gum or tooth in the seconda molar resulting in cellulitis or pus formation. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Mean wile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole combination(if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
