Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurrent throat infection and swollen neck glands which is leading to sore throat due to bacterial or viral infection. It is leading to upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day. Take ibuprofen one tablet twice daily. Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric taken at bedtime for can be relieving as it has antimicrobial properties. You should avoid spicy food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Apply warm compresses on swollen glands and neck .Throat lozanges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink luke warm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
