Suggest Treatment For Soreness And Lymph Nodes In The Throat With Cough

I have had a sore throat for a month, and about 2 days ago started having a cough. I now have a very bad cough that hurts my head when I cough, and my lymph nodes in my throat hurt very badly, especially when I move my head. I feel like is getting hard to breathe, and yesterday I started coughing up mucus with some red in it.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of soreness and lymph nodes in the throat with cough which seems to be due to bacterial infection such as strep throat along with upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to panic about it. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles on daily basis and you should avoid intake of sharp, spicy and rough food. You should take rest properly and whenever cough is there change your position from sit to stand and take long breaths for some time. You should sip on luke warm water and take throat lozenges

If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get X-ray chest done and start treatment after thorough examination. Doctor may prescribe you antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medications. You should take proper course of antibiotics.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
