I have a swollen gland IN my esophagas and it really annoys me. What can I do to help it? I might also have tonsillitis too... what should I do? How should I cure it AT HOME?
Thanks!

Antibiotics. If you are otherwise healthy, let your body heal itself and you will be that much stronger next time your body faces an infection.

Swollen glands usually mean an infection. Sometimes nasal and sinus allergies cause drainage and infection leading to swollen glands. Mononucleosisis is another possibility. Not to scare you but swollen glands can also mean lymphoma, a type of cancer. Some symptoms of lymphoma are tiredness, swollen glands, night sweats and later on weight loss. If you've had this problem off and on for weeks you really need to get to a doctor very soon. The fact that your glands are still swollen and that you are so tired and run down is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Don't just drag around feeling bad. Go get a diagnosis and get well before springtime!

You cannot cure this at home. Glands clean things like bacteria out of our systems and that is what causes the inflammation. There is no gland IN your esophagus, but there are some OUTSIDE it.
You can wait and wait and feel miserable and probably get sicker, making it harder to treat. In time your body might heal itself. Or it might not, and then you get to stay in the hospital.
