What should men do if they have swollen lymph nodes under their arms?

The occurrence of swollen lymph nodes cannot be ignored because lymph is an important part of our immune system. If a man's lymph nodes under his armpits become swollen, he needs to receive timely treatment and pay attention to care to prevent reinfection.

Treatment and care methods for swollen axillary lymph nodes:

Swollen axillary lymph nodes are most commonly caused by inflammation of tissues or organs in the lymph node drainage area, followed by lymph node metastasis of malignant tumors, and diseases of the lymph nodes themselves, such as lymph node tuberculosis, lymphoma, etc. Therefore, after confirming that the lymph nodes are swollen, the key is to determine their cause and nature. Local swelling accompanied by obvious pain often indicates infection; progressive painless swelling often indicates malignant tumor disease.

If the swollen lymph nodes under the armpit are mild, they will naturally get better after a period of time; or you can take some ordinary anti-inflammatory drugs or get some anti-inflammatory injections. However, if the swelling is severe and does not heal after long-term anti-inflammatory treatment, treatment is needed: first, to prevent it from further worsening; second, the body needs it to restore its function, exert its immune and bactericidal effects, and enhance physical fitness.
