What Causes Sore Glands, Back Pain And Swollen Lymph Nodes In Elbows?

I just got back from a camping trip. I have had a headache for a couple of days, a sore throat, back pain and have been pretty tired. My glands in my throat felt very sore, and I just noticed that I also seem to have swollen lymph nodes on the underside of my elbows. Should I be worried? What could be going on?

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
This could be viral infection.
I recommend the following.
1) Analgesic like tablet paracetamol or ibuprofen.
2) Salt water gargling. Add a pinch of salt to a glass of water.
3) Adequate rest and sleep.
You will be fine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
