Are cervical lymph nodes serious? There are lymph nodes in the neck

Answer. 1. Some inflammation can cause swollen lymph nodes.

2. Tuberculosis, cancer and other diseases can cause lymphadenopathy.

3. Don't guess. Don't scare yourself. Ask your oncologist for a check-up to find out.

4. If you need to take a lymph node in the outpatient clinic and send it for examination, you can get the diagnosis. And it will not delay the illness and relieve the burden on the heart as soon as possible.

5. Attached: Knowledge about lymph nodes.

1) There are hundreds of lymph nodes in the human body, and its function is similar to that of a "beacon". The superficial lymph nodes in normal people are very small, mostly within centimeters in diameter, and the surface is smooth and soft, with no adhesion and tenderness with the surrounding tissues.

2) The main function is to filter lymphatic fluid, produce lymphocytes and plasma cells, and participate in the body's immune response.

3) There are 3 common cases of lymphadenopathy: benign swelling. Malignant enlargement. Enlargement between benign and malignant.

4) Lymphadenopathy is very common, and there are many causes of the disease, I hope to give you enlightenment, timely treatment, diagnosis and identification, so as to get timely and effective**.

Don't be afraid that you have lymphoma, it generally depends on the range of motion, hardness, tenderness, if you have a sore throat or toothache recently, it can cause swollen lymph nodes, which is a general inflammatory reaction, it doesn't matter.

It's okay, it's been two years since I had two lymph nodes in my jaw, and it's fine. It doesn't hurt if you don't squeeze it hard, but the doctor advises you not to touch it every day.

It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Lymph nodes in the neck usually refer to swollen lymph nodes, which may be caused by inflammation, infection, lymph node tuberculosis, and it is not easy to rule out that it is caused by tumors and other factors.

1.Inflammation and infection: It may be due to the infection of lymph nodes by bacteria, viruses and other bacteria, which leads to lymph node congestion and edema, and lymphadenitis occurs, which can also cause lymph node enlargement.

2.Lymph node tuberculosis: It may be caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which usually occurs in the neck, and the main symptom is the symptoms of swollen lymph nodes, which may also be accompanied by low-grade fever and night sweats.

4.Tumors: Lymphadenopathy due to metastasis may also be caused by tumor metastasis, which may be an endogenous tumor originating in the lymph nodes, or a metastatic tumor that is outside the lymph nodes.

In addition, it may be caused by lymphatic follicular hyperplasia, etc., it is recommended to go to the hospital to improve the relevant examinations and target them under the guidance of a doctor**.

Lymph nodes in the neck usually refer to swollen lymph nodes, which may be caused by bacterial infection, viral infection, neoplastic enlargement, etc., and the visit is standardized according to its cause**.

1. Bacterial infection: adjacent tissues, such as acute tonsillitis and acute pharyngitis, can be given drugs such as amoxicillin, cefaclor, and Lanqin oral liquid due to inflammation spreading to the lymph nodes of the neck due to inflammation.

2. Viral infection: Viral infection can also cause lymph node enlargement, and antiviral drugs such as ribavirin granules can be given.

3. Neoplastic infiltration and enlargement: primary lymphoid tissue tumor, malignant tumor of nearby organs metastasized to cervical lymphadenopathy, surgery can be given to remove the tumor, and then chemotherapy**.

Cervical lymph is generally divided into four groups, submandibular lymph, mandibular mandib, anterior cervical, lateral cervical, and sometimes including submandibular lymph nodes, postauricular lymph nodes, postoccipital and other lymph nodes. Lesions such as infection in the local area of these lymph can cause lymphoma and pain, and systemic diseases can also cause corresponding lesions. Normal lymph nodes are flat or round, soft in texture, mobile, and the surrounding lymph nodes are generally divided into four groups with a diameter exceeding the cervical lymph, such as the submental and mandibular lymph, the mandibular area, the anterior neck and the lateral side of the neck, and sometimes including the submandibular lymph nodes such as the posterior auricular and occipital lymph nodes.

Lesions such as infection in the local area of these lymph can cause lymphoma and pain, and systemic diseases can also cause corresponding lesions. Normal lymph nodes are flat or round, soft in texture, mobile, no adhesion with surrounding tissues, clear boundaries, not in a clump, sometimes the length and diameter can reach the transverse diameter, the number of cervical lymph nodes is greater than 70, and usually only about 20 can be palpated. Lymph nodes mature and improve with age.

It can be felt at the age of 1 year, visible before the age of 7 years and even with a tilted head, and some degeneration after puberty is usually not palpable. Swollen lymph nodes accompanied by pain are mostly inflammatory, benign lesions. Swollen lymph nodes,**, consider malignancy.

If the lymph nodes are bulbous enlarged, or clumpy, adherent to the surrounding tissues, grow too fast, and there is no fever or pain, a biopsy should be removed. Therefore, enlargement is common before the age of 7, mostly due to the reaction of viral infection or trauma in adjacent tissues, and a few reasons are caused by diseases of the blood metabolic system, usually observation, re-examination of blood routine, ultrasound, etc., blood routine has no abnormal white blood cells, B ultrasound confirms that it is lymphoid tissue, the diameter of the lymph node itself is exceeded, the ratio of longitudinal diameter to transverse diameter of lymph nodes is <2, the texture is hard, inactive, clumpy, or multiple hyperplasia is a bad performance. In this case, an excisional biopsy is required.

Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and swollen lymph nodes in the back of the neck, the most likely reason is lymphadenitis. This inflammation is often combined with significant lymph node pain, and we need to take anti-inflammatory**, such as oral antibiotics. However, if the patient has metastasized from cancer cells elsewhere, it can also cause lymphadenopathy, but this is usually not painful.

First of all, it is necessary to consider that it is caused by a severe infection, or it may be caused by inflammation of the lymph nodes caused by fire, and if the immune function is weakened, there will also be swollen and inflamed lymph nodes. Generally, swollen lymph nodes in the neck are caused by bacterial infection, and some antibiotic drugs can be taken orally to relieve it, and some anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used to alleviate it. Partial swelling of the lymph nodes, first of all, it is necessary to determine which part of the lymph nodes are swollen and whether there are clinical symptoms to comprehensively determine the ** plan.

If it is superficial lymphadenopathy, it is usually due to inflammation or, rarely, due to a tumor or tuberculosis. Through color ultrasound examination, lymph node biopsy if necessary, the diagnosis can be definitive, and the best plan can be determined according to the examination results. If the lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity are swollen, it is necessary to consider whether there is a possibility of abdominal inflammation, tumor or lymphoma, and it is necessary to further improve the CT examination of the abdomen, and if necessary, improve the gastrointestinal endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.

Cervical lymphadenopathy is a common clinical disease, belonging to chronic lymphadenitis, which mostly occurs in the neck, submandibary, submential, behind the ear, etc., manifested as local lymph nodes with different degrees of enlargement, single or several in a string, small such as bean grains, large such as peanuts, slightly hard to touch, smooth surface, can be used to clear heat and detoxification, blood circulation and stasis, phlegm and dispersion of traditional Chinese medicine ** lymphadenopathy. Heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines, including Prunella vulgaris, desmodium, and forsythia, are commonly used to ** some nameless swelling, in addition, these swelling are often caused by blood stasis, and are often accompanied by some drugs that invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, such as frankincense, myrrh, etc., which can be interspersed.

**The methods are usually as follows:

First, if it is considered to be caused by a bacterial infection, it needs to be treated with antibiotics**, such as cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillin antibiotics, etc.; If it is caused by a viral infection, it needs to be carried out with antiviral drugs**, and it also needs to be combined with traditional Chinese medicine**, and the patient also needs to drink plenty of water and increase rest.

Second, if it is caused by a hematologic disease, such as lymphoma, chemotherapy is required.

Third, if it is considered to be caused by a malignant tumor, such as lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer, it requires aggressive surgery** and later combined with other**.

During **, patients should pay attention to their diet. For example, do not drink alcoholic beverages, try not to eat too spicy food, common ones are chili, spicy strips, spicy hot pot, etc., and you can appropriately consume vitamin-rich fruits and fresh green vegetables.

Lymph nodes throughout the body, is the body's immune system, normal lymph nodes in between, if the diameter or volume increases, it is lymphadenopathy, a regional lymphadenopathy is called localized lymphadenopathy, more common in non-specific lymphadenitis, simple lymphadenitis, lymph node tuberculosis, and malignant tumor metastasis.

If leukocytes and neutrophils are significantly higher than normal, inflammation is considered to be the cause, and anti-inflammatory drugs can be used symptomatically**, preferably with penicillins or cephalosporins.

It can also be caused by thyroid disease. We can improve the color ultrasound of thyroid and cervical lymph nodes to see if there are nodules in the thyroid gland, and some thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer can cause cervical lymphadenopathy to swell. At this time, it is necessary to complete the relevant examinations, and once the diagnosis of thyroid cancer is confirmed, surgical resection must be performed**.

Go to the hospital for a check-up to see what the cause is.

Swollen lymph nodes indicate inflammation, go to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor will prescribe the right medicine for you.
