Swollen Gland On Neck Left Side

Hello
I am seeking help with a swollen gland that started last Sunday February 17. I also noticed that I have a canker sore inside mouth on left side under tongue. I feel tired all the time and have a headache I’m the back of my head at this time. I have been taking Rhus Tixicodendron 1 m for this 2 x per day. When it gets worse I was taking Arsenicicum Album 30 c both of which helps. I went to hospital emergency room and blood test showed all fine. Doctor is checking me for thyroid problem because I am thin. I do have rheumatoid arthritis and always try to help myself with constantly changing symptoms. Any advice that you can give is very much appreciated.

Have COPD and take symbicort 200 puffer with steroids whenever I have bronchitis. Used it in January when I was sick. Have taken amoxicillin many times and also stronger antibiotics when I had a lung infection in 2013. Had facial cellulitis in 1983 and was in hospital for 7 days on IV antibiotics. Have never token bones or had surgery. Have one daughter and birth was natural with breastfeeding for over 5 years.

Thank you for your reply. I have ordered these two remedies from my local store. They will be coming on Friday and I will start then.
I have a supply of remedies at home and I do have Natrum Muriaticum 30ch and Kali Muriaticum 6x. . Should I start taking these now or wait for the others to arrive?
I live in a small town so it takes time to get remedies from the big city. The store in town makes orders once a month or I can order online to get the remedies. Or I can drive to the city when the weather is good.
Thank you very much for your help.

I am feeling much better while taking the two remedies but stopped taking them and felt bad again. During the 4 days of taking the remedies I felt rested each morning. I got up early each day and was more active all day. I felt stiff in the evening like usual and had a change in bowel with less movement and stiffer stools. I feel happier each day and the lump in my neck is very small now. Right hand and left foot hurts and when I stop the remedies I get headache and sore throat with a raspy voice. Also have to say that I always feel better during wet weather. Thankful for all of your help.
