Here are the top 10 home remedies for swollen lymph nodes.

1. Warm Compresses

A time-tested remedy to reduce swelling of the lymph glands is warm compresses. The hot temperature helps increase blood circulation, which in turn reduces swelling as well as pain.

Dip a washcloth in hot water and wring out the excess water.
Place this warm washcloth on the swollen lymph nodes for 5 to 10 minutes.
Repeat a few times daily until the swelling is gone.
You can even wash the swollen area with warm water a few times daily.

2. Massage

Another effective remedy is massaging the lymph nodes. Massage stimulates the lymph nodes to help them function normally. This helps subside the swelling over a period of time. In addition, it will reduce the accumulation of impurities in the nodes.

Using your fingers, gently massage the lymph nodes for about 5 minutes. Do this 2 or 3 times daily until the swelling is gone.
You can also hire a professional to give you a lymph drainage massage.
3. Salt Water

A salt water gargle can be beneficial for reducing the swelling and inflammation in lymph nodes in the neck caused by infection in the throat.

Mix ½ teaspoon of salt in 1 cup of warm water.
Gargle with this solution to get relief.
Do this a couple of times daily for about a week.

4. Garlic

Garlic has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling in the lymph nodes. This antibiotic food also helps cleanse the system, ease symptoms and promote healing.

Eat 2 to 3 raw garlic cloves daily. Include garlic in your cooking as well.
Massage the swollen area with garlic oil for a few minutes, 2 or 3 times daily.
Alternatively, take a garlic supplement daily, after consulting your doctor.

5. Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is another effective home remedy for swollen lymph nodes. It helps create an alkaline environment and maintain a healthy pH level in your body.
