What are the symptoms of cervical lymph node tuberculosis in addition to swollen lymph nodes?

Abscess type, as the name suggests, is a swollen lymph node that softens in the center and gradually expands or suddenly enlarges, and there is a fluctuating sensation to form an abscess. If secondary infection occurs, local acute inflammatory manifestations such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain appear;

Ulcerative type: the abscess fluctuates into superficial, easily ulcerates, and discharges thin caseous pus, and the wound does not heal for a long time, forming sinus tracts or ulcers.

Nodular type: slow onset, the first local lymph node ** swelling, at first as the size of a broad bean, the texture is hard, scattered and active, there may be mild tenderness, no adhesions. As the disease progresses, the lymph nodes increase in size, decrease in mobility, and become adherent.

This state can be maintained for several months without significant change.

Infiltrative type: swollen lymph nodes fuse into masses, there is obvious perilymph node inflammation, adhesion with surrounding tissues, **, central softening that is, cheese necrosis, limited movement, pain and tenderness are enhanced.

The main neck symptom of cervical lymph node tuberculosis is swollen lymph nodes, and the patient will have a bulge that is not red or hot in the early stage, which can be moved and pressed slightly or painlessly, and gradually increases and softens and turns red with the deterioration of the condition, and then ruptures. In addition to enlargement, patients may experience systemic symptoms such as low-grade fever and night sweats. Dr. Jin Guan explained:

Cervical lymphadenopathy is easy to misdiagnose in the early stage, and patients can make comprehensive judgments based on medical history, symptoms, etc., or consult like a doctor!

Cervical lymphoid tissue comes from lymphatic drainage in the nose, sinuses, pharynx, larynx, mouth, and face, and inflammation or cancer in these areas can invade or metastasize to the lymph nodes of various groups in the neck. Sometimes esophageal, chest and even gastrointestinal cancers have metastasized here. Generally, the nature and cause of cervical lymphadenopathy can be identified according to the location, size, texture, range of motion, and tenderness of cervical lymphadenopathy, and the possible primary lesion can be explored.

The common causes are: (1) Inflammation. Acute patients have the characteristics of redness, pain, and heat, with rapid onset and local tenderness, and the lump subsides after anti-inflammatory.

In chronic, the disease is long, active, nontender, and often located in the submandibular region. (2) Tuberculosis. It can be primary or secondary, tuberculosis foci in the abdominal cavity, the course of the disease is long, the enlarged lymph nodes are string-shaped, medium-quality, mobile, non-tender, can be adherent to each other into clumps, some caseous necrosis, and ulceration forms fistulas.

3) Metastatic malignancy. It is one of the causes of cervical lymphadenopathy, and its primary focus is mostly located in the head and neck, and the mass is gradually enlarged, hard, poor in motion, and no tenderness, often one-sided, but also bilateral. Nasopharyngeal cancer, tonsil cancer, and laryngeal cancer often metastasize to supraclavicular lymph nodes, and nasal, sinus, mouth, and facial cancers often invade submandibular lymph nodes, esophagus, and metastasis to supraclavicular lymph nodes.

4) Malignant lymphoma. It is a malignant tumor that occurs in the lymphatic reticular tissue. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is massive, progressively enlarged, hard, and poorly mobile, while Hodgkin's lymphoma is mostly bilateral, with fever, hepatosplenomegaly, emaciation and fatigue.

5) AIDS. It is caused by the invasion of human immunodeficiency virus, the course of the disease is long, and the lymph nodes gradually enlarge, often with inguinal lymphadenopathy, fever, emaciation, fatigue and leukopenia. Through a detailed medical history, careful clinical examination, combined with imaging examinations, and strive to find the primary lesion, when the primary lesion can be found, through puncture or removal biopsy, the nature and cause can be clarified, and then the corresponding anti-inflammatory, anti-tuberculosis, surgical clearance or radiotherapy** can be carried out.

The common symptom of lymph node tuberculosis is the appearance of a pimple on the neck of the patient, and then the pimple gradually grows, but at this time the lymph node tuberculosis patient does not have pain or itching, and there is no obvious tenderness. As the body's resistance decreases, the pimple gradually increases, the hair turns purple, and finally breaks down the runny pus and discharges the yellow turbidity cheese-like pus, which is called "rat sore" in traditional Chinese medicine. Repeated ulceration is rare, and some patients may have symptoms of systemic poisoning such as low-grade fever, theft, sweating, loss of appetite, and weight loss.

These are the symptoms of lymph node tuberculosis. Lymph node tuberculosis is an infectious disease that is caused by tuberculosis patients. Therefore, once a patient with lymph node tuberculosis is found, he must be isolated immediately**.

If lymph node tuberculosis patients can receive ** in time at an early stage, then the ** rate is relatively high, so early ** lymph node tuberculosis is very important.

Cervical lymph node tuberculosis typically manifests as symptoms of tuberculosis poisoning, but also as a neck mass, usually a cold abscess, and abscesses, ulceration, and repeated okara-like exudates in the neck. In addition, patients will also have decreased appetite and weight loss, mostly secondary to tuberculosis, and patients will also have obvious cough, sputum production, and afternoon low-grade fever, fatigue, and night sweats. If the ulcer is locally broken, the dressing should also be actively changed, attention should be paid to isolation to avoid infection, and anti-tuberculosis should also be carried out systematically**.

For the limited stage of cervical lymph node tuberculosis, it is best to avoid surgical incision, because the sinus tract formed by lymph node tuberculosis can easily lead to long-term non-union, and it is easy to lead to local scar tissue hyperplasia, and after active and effective anti-tuberculosis**, many patients' conditions can be controlled to a certain extent.

In the early stage, it is mainly cervical lymphadenopathy, that is, the neck is swollen, this bulge is not red or hot, it can be moved by pushing, it is slightly painful or not painful to press, and the texture is hard.

Symptoms of lymph node tuberculosis In addition to the situations mentioned upstairs, the key question is how to **, how to best not ** in the future, it is recommended to go to the lymph node tuberculosis specialty of Liming Hospital in Beijing**, you can consult it, and you will understand.

Early symptoms of cervical lymph node tuberculosis: one or several lymph nodes are accidentally found to be enlarged, initially the size of a broad bean, with a hard texture, scattered and mobile, no adhesions, and mild tenderness. As the disease progresses, the lymph nodes increase in size, decrease in mobility, and become adhesions in a series that can remain unchanged for months.

Hello, 1Cervical lymph node tuberculosis: This is the most common type of lymph node tuberculosis and is more common in women than in men.

The site of onset is more common on the right side. Western medicine believes that this disease is mostly caused by the invasion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis through the mouth (caries or tonsils), from the lymphatic vessels to the submandibular or submental lymph nodes; It can also be caused by the spread of pulmonary and intestinal tuberculosis lesions through the blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is injured by emotions, liver qi stagnation, spleen deficiency and phlegm.

Liver depression dissolves heat, phlegm and heat fight each other, respect the veins of the neck, and become a scrofula. It is also due to the weakness of the body, the yin deficiency of the lungs and kidneys, resulting in the yin deficiency and the fire is prosperous, and the phlegm and fire condense into a scrofula. I wish you good health.
