A member asked:

What can i do for a swollen lymph node on neck and a sore throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sore throat/glands: While most of the sore throats are due to viral infection, but sore throat with swollen glands can be more than that.You need to consult your medical doctor to rule out strep throat which requires a course of antibiotics.It can also be a sign of infectious mononucleosis.So see your doc to find out what it is and get treated properly.
