Treatment For Swollen Glands, Sore Throat, Loss Of Voice?
I have been having sore throat for a while. My voice goes often and somedays I cannot utter a word. It is hoarse most of the time. Usually it happened during the winter. Now we are in summer and it continuously have not stopped. I visited the specialist and he said nothing much just the glands are swollen. What is the cause of a swollen gland and what can I do about it? I have stopped drinking cold drinks for ages now. Thanks, Jackie
