Is Nurofen Plus And Ibuprofen Right Medication For Swollen Glands In Neck Causing Difficulty Swallowing?
Hi, I have developed swollen glands on the right hand side of my neck, it hurts a lot to swallow, so other than forcing myself to drink plenty of fluids I am spitting out my saliva. I have I temp of around 102 taken on my child's forehead step thermometer, therefore not sure of its accuracy. Shakes for being cold, then sweating, headache and sensitive skin. It started 48 hours ago, been treating it with paracetamol and ibuprofen, and have just taken some nurofen plus. I have been eating but only porridge. Just want to check I am doing the right things. Thanks
