[|Human|] I have swollen neck glands. I ate chillis yesterday and coughed a lot at the time. Within Two hours I noticed my neck glands are swollen and I am feeling like I am getting a head cold. Are the incidents linked? Am I having an allergic reaction to the chillis? Tim Holt.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, by your history and description, possibility of allergic reaction to chilies is more likely. So better to avoid excessive chilies in the future. Take combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) twice daily for 1 week. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
