What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Throat?
Hello. I just started smoking cannabis. I got it last night. I smoked some last night and again this morning. I noticed my lymph nodes, especially the right one, in my throats are swollen. The one on the right has a vein showing and there are white things on the lymph node. No fever. No cough. I don t feel sick. My throats doesn t hurt. Breathing is not difficult but the swollen lymph node is annoying as I can feel it when I swallow. Did the cannabis do this? Is it an infection? Am I allergic? I have smoked before rarely and never had this reaction.

Hello,
The swollen lymph nodes are related to an upper respiratory tract infection.
They are not related to the consumption of cannabis. I recommend using anti-inflammatory. medication such as Ibuprofen to reduce edema and inflammation. The swallowing will go away on its own.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
