Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swollen neck along with lumps and strep throat . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like tonsillitis , strep throat and viral pharyngitis . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test and CT scan to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin or penicillin ) along with anti allergic and anti inflammatory . Doctor may recommend tonsilectomy in case of severe tonsillitis refer you to gastroenterologist if the problem will be related to acid reflux . For now do warm saline gargles and avoid spicy and heavy food .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
