I have had a sore throat for 2 days with swollen gland under the chin on the right side - last night my chest felt tickly (coughed a bit) - today i feel marginally better but still aware of symptoms. My problem is that I am going to visit my 8 week old grandson today - should i stay away?
Thanks for your query.I have gone through your query. The sore throat can be because of the bacterial infection. Secondary to this there is regional lymphnode enlargement. Nothing to be panic, consult a good ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin(if you are not allergic). You can go and visit to see your grand son but better to stay away from kids because they are more prone to develop infection. I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
