General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

You have got infection of the base of mouth and swelling of the lymph nodes. If I was your treating physician, I would have prescribed you Augmentin 1g twice daily Plus Ibuprofen 800 mg twice daily for 10days.

Take a prescription from your physician and get very well soon.

Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.

Regards!
