Hi XXXXXXX , Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

As per your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having chronic allergic rhinitis with post nasal discharge (PND) . It results into frequent sore throat . Swollen gland mostly enlarge neck lymph node due to inflammation .

If I were your treating doctor , I would advice-

Regular Antiseptic Mouth Wash(Chlorhexidine) twice daily ,
Steam Inhalation twice daily,
Saline nasal spray or rinse thrice daily ,
anti-inflammatory analgesic Paracetamol & Combination Steroid nasal spray with antihistamine 2 puff each nostril twice daily .

Gargle with lukewarm water 20 mins after nasal spray use to remove any spray coming to throat .

You will get relief .
You will need to see your doctor to get a prescription.

Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Post nasal discharge (PND) causes frequent throat infections which result into swollen gland under jaw due to inflammation.
