hi my girlfriend has what appears to be glandular fevershe had minor symptoms for 3 days and for the last two days her neck has become more and more swollen and she is having problems breathing, eating, drinking and when she does manage to get to sleep it is incredibly loud and painful for her. The dr we saw was very  quick and gave her cilex syrup250mg/5ml this has now gone and the problems do seem to be getting worse. Her neck is very swollen at the glands. I have tried to give her crushed panadol called the chemists own and contains 500 mg paracetemol but she is having problems swallowing it. Is there anything more we can do
Thanks for posting your query to Chat Doctor . As I understand your girlfriend is suffering from some kind of infection, but you are not confirmed about the diagnosis. So first thing you need to do is investigated for 1.complete blood count .2.monospot test .it will suggest you for further plan of management.clinical symptoms goes in favor of mononucleosis like illness .presently you need to do is give symptomatic treatment along with prophetic antibiotic.review me with report so that I can suggest you further PLN of management.thanks.
