How to treat tonsillitis and swollen neck glands?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. According to your symptoms, this is most likely infectious mononucleosis, which is a viral infection and gets cured on its own. Your neck lymph nodes are enlarged due to the same thing. I suggest you get these tests done:

1. Rapid strep test.

2. Anti-VCA (viral capsid antigen) IgM antibody for infectious mononucleosis.

I also suggest you to consult a specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take medications with their consent. Do warm salt water gargles every four hours. For throat aches, you can use Benzydamine mouthwash one tablespoon thrice a day. Take the tablet Paracetamol for fever. If the pain is still there, you can use Ibuprofen.

Take preventive measures which are as follows:

1. Do not drink cold water or other cold drinks.
2. Take proper rest.
3. Drink 10 cups of water daily.

I hope this infomation will help.
