How long does it take for glands to go down and a sore throat after a cold is getting better and at the end where phelgm is yellow-clear? coughing too
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes weeks: It can sometimes take weeks for swollen lymph nodes in the neck to decrease in size after an upper respiratory infection. Seek care if not improving within a month, or if painful or continuing to grow. Sore throat can persist as long as there is drainage from the sinuses. Warm salt water gargle and lozenges can help.
