Throat Problems - swollen glands with severe pressure
Posted: 12-21-07 02:35am

First post! Just wanted to know if anyone had any idea what this could be, not sure if it amounts to be anything serious, although it's a discomfort. In my throat on my right side, theres a gland or an area that feels like its under severe pressure or almost to the point to where it feels like sometimes going to explode haha. I thought it might be a swollen gland or something to that extent, but i can't really feel anything with my bare hands that would tell me so. Not sure if this was the right forum, but thought i'd throw it out there to see if anyone had some insight, any information would be appreciated. 20 year male btw!

Thanks

Its more than likely a swollen lymph node---this would be a sign that your body is fighting off something. they can get pretty sore. you might want to start taking vitamin c and echinecia(forgive my spelling)

Thanks for the response, will try to get a little more of that C, but not exactly sure what echinecia is in.
