Hello ,

Thanks for consulting HCM

I have read query . As far as swollen glands and dark brown phlegm is concerned this can be due to swollen tonsils that is tonsillitis or due to throat infection . For this I will suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for clinical examination and treatment . Inmeantime do warm saline gargle 2 to 3 times a day and you can take medicine like Azithromycin or Allegra by consulting with local doctor .

Hope this will help you .
