Hi..
Thanks for the query..
As per your complain
swollen lymph nodes are commonly seen when you have upper
respiratory tract infection and as if is a viral infection, the virus will run its course and as the infection will subside the swelling of the lymph nodes will also reduce..
However there is a possibility that if there is secondary bacterial infection, then you might need a course of antibiotics for resolution..
You can do cool compresses over the lymph nodes for relief..
As of now you should take supportive treatment for the
upper respiratory infection like:
-Gargle with a warm saline solution that is by mixing 1 teaspoon salt in a glass of water and warm it to make a luke warm solution..
-Take a combination of decongestant like Phenylephrine, mucolytic like Ambroxol and anti allergic levocetrizine and another combination of
Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen..
-Take cough expectorant containing Gueifenesin and cough suppressant containing
Dextromethorphan.
-Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily..
-Do steam inhalations..
-Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
-Sip on warm water throughout the day..
Hope this information helps..
Regards..
