Inflammation of lymph nodes

The main causes of lymph node inflammation are a common virus, bacteria or tuberculosis, which can lead to changes in the lymph nodes. They can usually be detected clinically. At the same time, it is mainly when a part of the body is seriously swollen or swollen. Microorganisms or cancer cells can spread, which will cause some symptoms of swollen or inflamed lymph nodes, so it is necessary to treat it in time.

At the same time, the common causes are fever and weakness. At the same time, in daily life, they are mainly common in other types of diseases, such as toothache or other sensations. If you have inflammation, you must treat it in time and do not delay the disease or prolong the symptoms of the disease.

English name: lymphadenitis

Chinese name: lymphadenitis

Definition: Any virus, bacteria, tuberculosis or fungus can cause inflammation of the lymph nodes.

There are about 600 to 700 lymph nodes in the human body, and clinically only various superficial lymph nodes of the body can be examined. The superficial lymph nodes of healthy people are very small, with a diameter of no more than 1 cm. They are soft in texture, smooth in surface, difficult to touch, and have no tenderness and adhesion to adjacent tissues.

Superficial lymph nodes are distributed in groups, and each group of lymph nodes receives lymph fluid from a certain area. For example, the lymph nodes in the ear and mastoid area receive lymph from the scalp; the submandibular lymph nodes receive lymph from the floor of the mouth, buccal mucosa, gums, etc.; the submental lymph nodes collect lymph from the tissues in the submental triangle, lips and tongue. The deep cervical lymph nodes collect lymph from the nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, thyroid gland, etc.; the right supraclavicular lymph nodes receive lymph from the trachea, pleura, lungs, etc.; the left supraclavicular lymph nodes receive lymph from the esophagus, gastrointestinal tract and other organs. The lymph fluid from the upper trunk, breast, chest wall, etc. flows back to the axillary lymph nodes; the lymph fluid from the lower limbs and perineum flows back to the inguinal lymph nodes. When inflammation or cancer occurs in a part of the body, microorganisms or cancer cells can spread along the lymphatic vessels to reach the lymph nodes of that organ or part, causing swollen and tender lymph nodes, which is of great significance for the diagnosis of the disease.

The above are the common symptoms of lymphadenitis. We must actively treat them in our daily life. The symptoms of lymphadenitis are very dangerous. We must avoid smoking, drinking, and eating raw and cold food in our daily life. Microorganisms or cancer cells can spread and cause some symptoms of swollen or inflamed lymph nodes. We must seek timely treatment in our daily life and eat more nutritious fruits and vegetables.
