Question 1

what system causes sore throat and swollen lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

Mononucleosis: Infectious mononucleosis (mono) is often called the kissing disease. The virus that causes mono is transmitted through saliva, so you can get it through kissing, but you can also be exposed through a cough or sneeze, or by sharing a glass or food utensil with someone who has mono. However, mononucleosis isn't as contagious as some infections, such as the common cold.

No: Xyzal is levocetirizine, and antihistamine that should not cause either sore throat or swollen lymph nodes.

Question 3

can post nasal drip cause sore throat with swollen lymph nodes? what can i do to get the swollen down?

Accepted Answer

Strep vs. cold: The post nasal drip probably didn't cause the sore throat, but all these symptoms are probably attributable to a cold at best, strep throat at worst.  Sore throat with swollen nodes, especially with cough, should be evaluated by a doctor for strep throat, because in that case one would require antibiotics, more than just simple cold remedies like chicken soup or tylenol (acetaminophen).  Feel better!
