What Causes Swollen Glands And Sore Throat In A Sportsman?

Hi there, my 18 year old son Kyle is a Jr A hockey player but unable to play due to injury/illness. It s been over a month now, he s not getting better & I m very worried about him. He s had swollen glands for over a year now, waking up with a sore throat every morning. Feeling extreme fatigue and fogginess. He s been going to physio and chiro but nothing is helping. I m thinking it s MS but his MRI showed no signs. Please let me know your thoughts...I am desperate. Thanks for listening, Karin Bergh

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swollen glands and sore throat which seems to be due to inflammation of tonsils and upper respiratory tract infection ( bacterial or viral ).

Allergic reaction can also cause such symptoms .I would suggest you to do throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles. You should avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages and maintain proper oral hygiene. Do rinses with antimicrobial mouth wash.

You should take antibiotic Amoxicillin in combination with antiallergic medication Sinarest. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get blood and throat swab test done and start treatment after proper prescription. Take over the counter antihistamine like benadryl. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
