Suggest Treatment For Swollen Neck Glands

Him I have had a swollen left gland for a couple of days and a slightly swollen right gland making it uncomfortable and painful to swallow a drink and food, i am not one for taking antibiotics ect. So I was wondering if there was anything else I could do to help it go down? Any suggestions welcome thanks.
