<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have swollen glands on the left side of my neck, for 12 days now. Cant coughsneezelaugh without severe stabbing pain in abdomen under left rib. Lochia got worse after a little activity and it had tapered off. Birth was 2 weeks ago with no complications.  <response>: Dear patient thank you for the question. Swollen glands warrants a physical examination by your GP as it could be salivary glands, lymph nodes or tonsils or even a swollen thyroid gland you have fever and trouble swallowing it could be your tonsils in which case Amoxicillin clavulinic acid 650 mg for 5 days should help. This is an antibiotic. For the pain ibuprofen 800 mg SOS is to be takenHowever swelling on the left side of neck is a vague term and I again suggest you should get yourself examined
