Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of throat infection and swollen lymph node on the neck which seems to be due to strep throat which is a bacterial infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with antibiotics as they are first line of treatment option in this case. Also apply warm compresses neck twice a day . Avoid spicy and rough food. Take diet rich in soft food. Sip on lukewarm water and take throat lozenges. Take anti inflammatory drugs such as Levocetirizine. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Maintain oral hygiene. Take proper course of antibiotics. Get blood tests done if required.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
