What Causes Left-sided Gland Soreness And Sore Throat?
Question: Yes, I have two dogs that are suppose to shed less dander...they are Giant Snhauzers ..they weigh about 90 lbs and a puppy about 60 pounds. I have tested allergic to dogs. I do not have a cold but awakened with left side gland soreness particularly when I swallow but its more soreness that an actual sore throat. No redness or lumps.
Could this be allergy and would like Claritin improve??
Could this be allergy and would like Claritin improve??
Brief Answer:
I will rather go with a pain drug such as Ibuprofen now!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
It is unlikely for an allergy to cause this symptoms. It could be a viral infection of the throat. I will recommend Ibuprofen to relief the soreness and see what happens next. This alone if often sufficient to manage a viral infection. For now, no claritin.
I hope this helps. Keep me updated. I wish you well and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
