Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Based on your message, I could understand that you have either tonsillitis or adenoids.

This is due to the chronic settlement of few bacterias in your throat, which leads to the settlement of the same bacteria nearby lymph node (right neck). So, please follow the following advice:

a) Use warm water and salt for gargling the throat every third hour continuously.

b) Use Alum (small piece) dissolve in warm water and do throat gargle before bedtime. If you do not get Alum, no issues. You can do with regular saltwater.

c) Make a drink using five pieces of garlic with 150 ml of boiled milk and honeny. Drink it twice daily.

d) If possible, practice Pranayama.
