Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your query you have symptoms of swollen lymph nodes and ear congestion which seems to be due to lymphadenitis of neck lymph node. Need not to panic about it. I would suggest you to start with proper course of antibiotics such as Azithromycin for 3 days for infection to subside. Avoid spicy and rough food. Take diet rich in soft food. Sip on lukewarm water and take throat lozenges. Take anti-inflammatory medications. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Maintain oral hygiene. Get blood tests should be done, if required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
