What Could It Be If Having Sore Throat With Swollen Glands, Fever And Difficulty In Swallowing?
I ve had a sore throat for 4 days with swollen glands, fever, and difficulty swallowing. On day 2 with fever strep test came back negative. Fever has diminished, but that is all. I am afraid it is strep, they said it was viral. 3 days off work and little improvement.
throat infections are frequently viral and the symptoms ususally last for a week. take pain killers like tylenol or ibuprofen after checking the dosage. do warm salt water gargling 4 times daily and avoid cold foods and air conditioning. drink plenty of fluids and have lots of vitamin c rich fruits. if there is no improvement in 3 more days then you may require antibiotics. regards, Dr Rajkishori.

hi and thanks for the query, do not worry, throat infections are frequently viral and the symptoms ususally last for a week. take pain killers like tylenol or ibuprofen after checking the dosage. do warm salt water gargling 4 times daily and avoid cold foods and air conditioning. drink plenty of fluids and have lots of vitamin c rich fruits. if there is no improvement in 3 more days then you may require antibiotics. regards, Dr Rajkishori.
