Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
For how long u are suffering from it? Any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension? Any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? Are u running fever? Any other lymph node swelling in ur body?
It is difficult to diagnose without actually examining the patient. you need proper examination and investigations in order to make accurate diagnosis. If i am ur attending physician i will get ur FBC ESR CRP chest Xray as well as throat swabs and blood culture.
In the light of these investigations i will be able to offer you any treatment.
Differentials include either acute pharyngitis , laryngitis, sinusitis as well as
Reactivation of TB. you need to be examined properly
meet your doctor
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
