The swollen lymph gland often heals on its own, but proper watch is necessary to avoid infection or formation of node in the gland. Swollen lymph gland is an indication that your body’s immune system is working to fight the invading bacteria and viruses.
- Salt water gargles when done twice daily (especially before going to bed) helps a lot to soothe these lymph nodes.
- Make an herbal tea by adding grated ginger, mint leaves, basil leaves, honey, and lemon juice in water. Drink this tea when warm to treat your swollen lymph glands.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol completely.
Also minimize the consumption of carbonated beverages, cold foods, oily and spicy foods. This will help to heal the inflamed lymph glands faster.
