What could be the reason for mucus in the throat and a swollen lymph node?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have been suffering from a throat infection with a cough, shortness of breath, and phlegm. It decreased after taking antibiotics prescribed by a doctor but from that time I am having continuous mucus in my throat with pain on side of neck. One doctor told me it is GERD and prescribed medicines for that which did not help. Later another doctor did a neck X-ray, and laryngoscopy and told me it is allergic granular pharyngitis. There is also one swollen lymph node.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Actually, mucous production and all these symptoms can be controlled if you start taking antibiotics and anti-allergic pills once again. So for now I would suggest you to take the following medications.

Take tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily before a meal.
Take a tablet of Azithromycin 500 mg once a day after a meal.
Take tablet containing Levocetirizine and Montelukast once daily before sleeping.

Take these medications for 3 days and let me know. Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
