REPORT

Bactrim is an antibiotic that can help treat many types of infections, so if the swollen glands are due to an infection, it may help, but you could also run into the issue of not having enough to fully eradicate the infection, if these are left overs from some other infection.

Learn more Bactrim details here.

Additionally, swollen glands can also be caused by some viruses and, if that's what has caused them to be swollen, then an antibiotic will not be effective.

Both scenarios create the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.


Have they improved at all, yet?

I started out with an ulcer on the back left of my tongue about two days ago then a few hours later I noticed the same side of my throat was beginning to be sore. This morning I woke up with my left neck swollen. It's now swollen further up my face and causing ear pain.
