What Causes Swelling In Tonsils And Lymph Nodes Along With Nasal Congestion?

Both of my tonsils are swollen, my lymph nodes are swollen, my throat is super sore, I have white stuff on both of my tonsils and my nose is clogged. What could this be? I'm not super tired but I have been stuck on the couch for the past week to fight this. Please help.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that the symptoms of sore throat, swollen tonsils, swollen glands, white stuff on tonsils along with clogged nose can be due to viral throat infection along with superseded bacterial infection..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised a course of antibiotics like Augmentin or Azithromycin, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, do warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
You can also use decongestant nasal spray containing Xylometazoline and use saline nasal irrigation to decongest the nose..
Avid spicy and chilled foods..
You can suck throat lozenges as it helps in soothing the throat..
Chew a Vitamin C pellet as it will help in boosting immunity..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
