Suggest Treatment For Swollen Glands Under Chin, Sore Throat And Tongue
Hi, I started with swollen glands under chin and then in the sides of neck. Then my throat and tongue were sore. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with an antibiotic. But now I realise that my tongue was sore because of a number of mouth ulcers in my gums and 2 sores on my tongue and swollen/sensitive gums. Is this really strep throat?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query swollen glands under chin, sore throat and tongue could be because of streptococcus infection which is leading to strep throat. It could be tonsillitis with pharyngitis. Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to take proper course of antibiotics such as co-amoxiclav. Do warm saline gargles. Drink hot milk with tumeric at bed times for 3-5 days. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Sip lukewarm water whole day. Avoid sharp spicy food. Hot lemon tea will give immediate relief. Take multivitamin tablets. Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get it examined and start treatment accordingly. Go for lab tests if required. Take nasal and mouth steam as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
