Suggest Remedy For Painful Swallowing With Swollen Lymph Node
Last Friday I had swollen lymph glands on the right side of my neck. They were painful to touch. After 2 days the pain disappeared and the swelling went down. Last night before going to bed I noticed I had some pain associated with swallowing. Today the pain has progressed and swallowing is extremely difficult.

Hi, you seem to be suffering from throat infection which is causing pain on swallowing and also the tender lymphnode enlargement. Please use antiseptic gargles and an analgesic. If the pain does not subside you may need to start an antibiotic in consultation with a doctor. Meanwhile please avoid spicy, sour, oily and junk food. Regards
