Hello,
Welcome and thank you for your question.
I am Dr. Das. I am an MD with more than 20 years experience and I am happy to help you today.
I am reviewing it now and will reply again in a moment.
How old are you?
What symptoms do you have, besides the enlarged lymph nodes?
Did the doctor ask for a CBC - a complete Blood Count?
Then yes, these tests will help identify the cause of your symptoms.
It is possible that you also have a mild throat infection.
Please take the following steps and see if they help-
- Gargle with warm saline water thrice daily.
- Suck at a hard sweet or toffee - the swallowing action causes the muscles of the throat to contract and relax , soothing them
- Take an anti-inflammatory medicines like Motrin 1 tablet thrice daily for at least 3 days.
- Apply a warm washcloth against the ear - it can can help eliminate congestion.
Take adequate sleep and drink plenty of water.
You are welcome.
