What Causes Painful Lump In The Throat While Recovering From Strep Throat?
Hello, So i just got over a severe strep throat and was perscribed antibiotics. I have completed the amount given and over the past day or so a large lump in my left side of my throat has appeared and it causes severe pain, stiff neck, and a restricted range of motion. What exactly is going on?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the painful lump in throat while diagnosed as strep throat indicates residual infection in form of adenoid inflammation or else. You need specific care to cure this at best possible manner:
- Gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil 3 times a day
- Drink more liquids in sessions as hot coffee, tea, milk shakes (with straw), avoid cold drinks
- Avoid dairy items, ice creams and likewise stuffs
- Need prescription of further antibiotics (of same or different class than previous one) as per the choice of your doc
- Avoid exposure to atmosphere with dust and pollen (if required, use face mask)
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
