The glands (lymph nodes) on either side of the neck, under the jaw, or behind the ears commonly swell when you have a cold or sore throatt These glands can also swell following an injury, such as a cut or bite, near the gland or when a tumor or infection occurs in the mouth, head, or neckk


Swollen glands caused by an injury or minor infection usually go away within a couple of weeks after you recover from the injury or illnesss

Here are some home remedies that might help ease the pain a bitt

 One of the most effective home remedies is the use of limee


Half a fresh lime squeezed in a glass of warm water, mixed with two teaspoons of honey and little salt, sip slowly, this can be done several times a dayy

The throat may be gargled with hot water mixed with a little salt and lime juice several times dailyy This will help draw out fluids from the inflamed throat, their by relieving discomfortt

The juices of carrot, beet and cucumber taken individually or in combination are especially valuablee Formula proportions found helpful, when used in combination are carrot 150ml, beet 50ml and cucumber 50ml to prepare 250ml of combined juicee
