Introduction to pulmonary lymph nodes

It is difficult to treat a disease like pulmonary lymph nodes in our daily life, so we hope that everyone should know how to prevent it in life. In fact, the symptoms of pulmonary lymph node disease are mainly caused by problems with the lung lymph and the appearance of cysts or lymph node nodules. Therefore, when we face this situation, we generally treat the pulmonary lymph nodes through surgical resection.

Generally, if there are lymph nodes in the lungs or mediastinum, it may be caused by a tumor. Suggestions: I don't know if you have any masses in the lungs besides the lymph nodes in the lungs. If there are masses in the lungs and lymph nodes at the same time, it may be lung cancer. You can also do a blood test and cancer culture antigen test to distinguish. If it is caused by inflammation, the blood count will increase. If it is caused by cancer, the cancer culture antigen will increase.

Swollen lymph nodes are only a symptom of the disease. Only by finding out the cause can we judge the nature and extent of the disease. If it is caused by tuberculosis, it will be contagious. Active treatment can cure it. Lymph nodes are the pathway for lymph to flow back into the blood. When lymph flows through the lymph nodes, the bacteria and other foreign matter contained in the lymph are removed by phagocytes to reduce the harm of spread of bacterial infection. Therefore, lymph nodes are important immune organs of the body. When an infection occurs in a certain part of the body, when bacteria pass through the lymph nodes with the lymph, it can cause swelling and pain of the lymph node groups accordingly. When the body suffers from malignant tumors, they often metastasize along the lymphatic vessels, stay in the lymph nodes, divide and proliferate, causing the lymph nodes to swell.

Typical secondary pulmonary tuberculosis combined with secondary lung infection. Systematic sputum examination for tuberculosis (at least 3 times), sputum tuberculosis culture + drug sensitivity test (twice within two months), sputum common bacteria culture + drug sensitivity test, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and routine blood tests should be performed. If tuberculosis is indeed in the active stage, the patient should be hospitalized and receive comprehensive treatment under the guidance of a local tuberculosis specialist, including chemotherapy for pulmonary tuberculosis, anti-infection, symptomatic cough suppression, expectorant, expectorant, and antiasthmatic treatment.

If we encounter enlarged pulmonary lymph nodes in life, we recommend that you pay close attention to its treatment methods in life, which will be of great help in treating this disease. When treating swollen pulmonary lymph nodes, we should follow the doctor's advice and adjust our diet appropriately.
