My throat glands feel swollen [lymph nodes?] and it feels different swallowing like it's tighter in the throat, also I have a drip in my throat. I do not have fevers or extreme fatigue. My nose is also stuffed up. Is that most likely allergies. I am allergic to pollen and take zyrtec-d [sp?] if needed but not all the time. I don't have any symptoms that zyrtec is used for. Do you think this is allergies?

It could be allergies but I am am leaning more toward swollen glands or strep throat because of the constriction issue.
It could also be the onset of tonsillitis.

I would gargle with warm salt water every couple of hours and some hot tea with honey for soothing of the throat.

If that does not help,I think a doctor visit may be your best bet.

Thank's. To be more specific though my throat feels tighter because there is a post nasal drip I think. I think it is most likely my allergies.
