Hi.
The symptoms of swollen lymph nodes, gums, sore-throat and headache on exposure to the infected person is an indication that you have to start taking the antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines as early as possible.
There is no other option , if you want to avoid further complications.
Take plenty of warm liquids orally, take a bed rest, consult a Doctor to get examined and a prescription for an appropriate treatment.
