What Causes Throat Ulcers And Swelling In Lymph Nodes After A Bout Of Cold?

I have a low grade fever, ulcers on back of tongue and really raised bumps and feel like they re down my throat. My doctor is treating with antibiotic. It s the tail end of a cough and cold. (3 weeks) he said if it is strep this antibiotic would take care of it... I have a little post nasal drip, enough to cause an annoying cough. Not congested. Other than upper respiratory, what could be cause of the ulcer feel down my throat and swollen glands. Btw I m 60.

It looks like an infection from what you've said. A course of antibiotics must take care of it. Since you are 60, we must be sure its not cancer. If you are a smoker and the raised bumps are painless please ask your doctor about this.
