What Causes Sore Throat With Swollen Lymph Nodes?

I have a sore throat that is actually painful to the touch on the outside, directly above my adams apple in the middle of my trachea I guess it would be. It started yesterday. I have had sore throats before but don t remember ever having external pain to the touch. It doesn t feel like there are any lumps. Maybe minor swelling. No fever. Minor sinus drainage. I felt a little tired/sore yesterday and today like I could possibly be fighting something off.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain it seems that the symptoms of throat pain that is Pharyngitis with minor sinus drainage seems to be due to throat infection that can be bacterial or viral in origin..

For confirmation consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Thorat swab culture can help in diagnosis..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, doing warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and using a humidifier in your room can help..
You can also suck throat lozenges, chew Vitamin C pellet and avoid spicy and chilled foods..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
