What Causes Sore Throat When Suffering From Enlarged Lymph Nodes?
Hi, I am a 52 YO female. Enlarged lymph nodes under my jaw for the last few days. These seem to be worse in the morning. Also experiencing a tickling cough, a very mild sore throat, and a tightness in the throat when I swallow. I wonder if I have a cold or if it could be something more serious.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection. The enlarged lymph nodes are related to this condition. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day. I also suggest to drink liquids and use a throat spray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
