Accepted Answer

Swollen glands: Yes, a swollen gland could be all of the things you asked about, such as an allergy, cold, etc.  It is more likely to be a viral process or allergy to pollens than food allergy, especially since you are having throat symptoms and sneezing.  If you have allergies, try an over-the-counter antihistamine first as this could help with your sneezing and the scratchy throat.  If no better, see your doc.

Question 8

i haave had a swollen gland on the left side of my throat for over a month.  no swore throat.  doesnt hurt.

Accepted Answer

Time to see ENT: I would recommend a complete head and neck exam by an ent.  Sometimes people start to feel lumps that were always there,  so compare to the other side of your neck. If  the lump is there and painless, we need to rule out a tumor.  A good exam and sometimes a needle aspiration biopsy are necessary.  You're at increased risk if you were ever a smoker.  Go get this checked out.
