Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like you have an infection in throat that us causing swelling of the lymph glands.

As you are taking Amox-clav, burning and tenderness in mouth and gums can be a side effect of the antibiotic causing Stomatitis.

Difficulty in swallowing is due to swollen and painful gland..

So my suggestion is to continue taking the antibiotic, take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Advil, gargle with specialised mouthwash like Magic mouthwash, do warm saline gargles.

Suck throat lozenges and chew Vitamin C pellet daily..
If still there is no improvement in 4-5 days consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
