A member asked:
Can post nasal drip cause sore throat with swollen lymph nodes? what can i do to get the swollen down?
A doctor has provided 1 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!

A member asked:
I have a tender, moveable, swollen lymph node (I think) between my ear and my TMJ. My ear feels full, my jaw hurts, and I have post-nasal drip. Could this be a dental cause if I feel no pain in my teeth? On antibiox, but should I go to dentist now?
