What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In Neck, Stomach Upset And Frequent Urination?

My 29 yr old healthy son isn t feeling well. Lymph nodes on both sides of his neck and one under his left arm pit swollen. Stiff neck but has good movement up and down but side to side is harder. He eats but it upsets his stomach. He s drinking a lot and urinating. He had a tick on his thigh last week but caught it. Saw a red mark near his armpit and that concerned him. He thought it was a pimple. He went to a Med Express today and they tested him for Lyme s no result yet. I m concerned he needs to do more. Oh they gave him 14 days of antibiotics. Doesn t have a primary care doctor. They told him to find one. This is the antibiotic Doxycyclene hyclate. I have a picture of the rash.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of swollen lymph nodes in neck, stomach upset and frequent urination which seems to be due to strep throat which is a bacterial infection.But there can be other causes also like viral pharyngitis , tonsillitis or allergic reaction . I would suggest you to

1) Antibiotics are first line of treatment option in this case. In case of mild fever you can take Calpol or paracetamol for relief as well as it will relieve throat pain too.
2) Hot milk with a pinch of turmeric boiled with it at bedtime for 2-3 days as it has antimicrobial action.
4) Sip on lukewarm water and take throat lozenges.
5) Take anti inflammatory drugs such as Levocetirizine.

If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Abdomen upset and frequent urination indication UTI , so consult urologist for it .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
