Suggest Remedy For Swollen Lymph Node And Sore Throat

Hi doctor, I have a single swollen lymph node in my neck, that as of tonight has become extremely swollen (can be seen just by looking at it). I have a sore throat but only on that side of my neck. I also over the last week have experienced loss of appetite and a high level of fatigue. I am 18 and healthy. Any help would be great

Hi,
It seems thaat you might be having onesided acute follicular tonsillitis giving throat pain and tender swelled lymph node in the neck.
Go for one course of antibiotic like Azzithromicin for 3-5 days.
Do salt water gargles.
Avoid cold drinks and junk food.
Ok and take care.
