Causes of swollen lymph nodes in the lungs

Pulmonary lymphadenopathy is a disease that has a great impact on the patient's lungs, so our patients should go to the hospital for treatment. The general causes of swollen pulmonary lymph nodes include viral infection and varicose lymph nodes. Therefore, in our lives, for swollen pulmonary lymph nodes caused by viruses, we can use antibiotics to control the growth of bacteria and thus control the recovery of the disease.

Lymph node swelling is mostly caused by bacterial or viral infection, and treatment is mainly based on antibiotics. In addition, pay attention to whether the adjacent tissues and organs have lesions. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital to find out the cause and treat it accordingly. Pay attention to rest, drink plenty of water, don't eat spicy food, and don't drink alcohol. 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 spreading bacterial infection. Therefore, lymph nodes are important immune organs in the body. When an infection occurs in a certain part of the body, when bacteria pass through the lymph nodes with the lymph fluid, it can cause swelling and pain in the lymph nodes. When the body suffers from malignant tumors, they often metastasize along the lymphatic vessels and stay in the lymph nodes to divide and proliferate, causing the lymph nodes to swell. Common causes of swollen lymph nodes include:

Bacterial infections such as acute inflammation of the mouth, palatine tonsils, face, etc. often cause swelling of the mandibular lymph nodes. These lymph nodes are soft and movable, and generally return to normal as the inflammation disappears. Viral infections such as measles and infectious mononucleosis can also cause swollen lymph nodes. A very characteristic diagnosis is urticaria, which often causes swelling of the posterior occipital lymph nodes.

Lymph node tuberculosis is most common with enlarged cervical lymph nodes. Some will rupture, while others will not, and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish them from lymphoma clinically. The diagnostic method is to perform lymph node puncture, smear and biopsy multiple times and in multiple locations to find the primary lesion of tuberculosis. Lymph node metastasis cancer This type of lymph node is very hard, non-tender, and inactive. Clinically, patients with gastric cancer and esophageal cancer can often touch the small lymph nodes on the sacrum; patients with breast cancer should often touch the axillary lymph nodes to determine whether the tumor has metastasized.

The lymph node enlargement of leukemia is systemic, most obvious in the neck, armpits, and groin. In addition to the symptoms of swollen lymph nodes, the patient's characteristic manifestations include anemia, persistent fever, and the presence of a large number of immature cells in blood and bone marrow. Lymph node enlargement caused by lymphoma is more common in the neck. Lymphoma is a tumor that originates in the lymph nodes or lymphatic tissue.

Therefore, there are still some lesions other than lymph nodes, such as damage to the tonsils, nasopharynx, gastrointestinal tract, spleen, etc. Enlarged lymph nodes can also be seen in connective tissue diseases such as lupus erythematosus. Another example is allergic reactions and mosquito bites. Therefore, you should have a certain understanding of swollen lymph nodes so as to reduce your doubts and seek medical treatment in time.

Regarding the condition of swollen pulmonary lymph nodes introduced in the article, we suggest that everyone should analyze it carefully in life so that we can get rid of the harm of this disease. Common causes of pulmonary lymphadenopathy include lymphadenopathy and leukemia. I hope you can prevent the causes of this disease in your life.
