Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swollen lymph nodes and inflamed throat which is due to tonsillar enlargement, it could be due to swollen lymph nodes of neck, swollen salivary glands and uvular enlargement as well. Need not to worry about it. Popping up pain on your butt and legs mainly back of legs above knee is because of myalgia and arthralgia .Visit ENT specialist once and get complete examination done. Go for blood tests along with that get chest x-ray done. you should go for fin needle aspiration cytology of lymph nodes which are swollen and biopsy of lesion to find out exact cause and start treatment accordingly. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures such as do warm saline gargles on daily basis 3- 4 times a day. Take proper antibiotic course such as Amoxicillin for 5-7 days. Take anti-inflammatory drugs as well. Maintain proper oral hygiene.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
