Cervical lymph node treatment

There are quite a few patients who find that their cervical lymph nodes are swollen, but they don’t know what’s going on or how to treat them. This may cause swollen cervical lymph nodes to become early symptoms of malignant tumors. However, such situations must be taken seriously. If we do not pay attention to the disease and delay treatment, it is inappropriate.

When diseases such as cervical lymph tuberculosis occur, traditional Chinese medicine calls it "scrofula". Such diseases are more common among children or young people. Generally speaking, cervical lymph node treatment must be performed when the body's disease resistance is very low, as this will cause illness. Tuberculosis vaccines invade through tonsils and dental caries, and a few are secondary to tuberculosis lesions in the lungs or bronchus.

There may be multiple enlarged lymph nodes of varying sizes on one or both sides of the neck. In the early stages, the swollen lymph nodes are hard, painless, and can be moved. As the lesion progresses, due to perilymphadenitis, the lymph nodes adhere to the skin and surrounding tissues. The lymph nodes may also adhere to each other and fuse into a mass. In the late stage, the lymph nodes undergo caseous necrosis and liquefaction, forming cold abscesses. After rupture, bean curd-like or rice-soup-like pus may flow out, eventually forming a sinus tract or chronic ulcer that does not heal for a long time.

Treatment of localized tuberculous lymph nodes. A small number of localized, larger, and movable lymph nodes can be removed surgically. For those with cold abscesses, ulcers or sinus tracts, the pus can be drained and anti-tuberculosis drugs can be injected into the cavity, or the tuberculosis lesions can be removed and the dressings replaced with anti-tuberculosis drugs and wait for the wound to heal. If necessary, surgical removal can also be performed. Generally, there are multiple enlarged lymph nodes of varying sizes located at the anterior and posterior edges of the sternocleidomastoid muscles on one or both sides. As described in the overview, the above-mentioned lesions at different stages may appear simultaneously in the lymph nodes of the same patient.

When we have cervical lymph nodes, we must pay attention to the treatment of our cervical lymph nodes, make reasonable diagnosis and treatment methods, actively treat the symptoms, and choose a more reliable hospital. This is the best way to cure the cervical lymph nodes as soon as possible. I hope we can have some understanding of this knowledge.
