Introduction
In general, neck lymph node pain can be treated and resolved through physical therapy, medication, or surgical intervention. Patients are advised to maintain a regular lifestyle, ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late, follow a light diet, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods such as hot pot and barbecue, to prevent worsening of the condition and prolonged recovery time.
In general, neck lymph node pain can be alleviated through physical therapy, medication, or surgical treatment. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Physical Therapy
If a patient lacks physical activity, it may lead to decreased immunity, resulting in infection by pathogenic microorganisms and inflammatory responses. Inflammation can irritate surrounding tissues, leading to symptoms such as swollen and painful lymph nodes. It is recommended that patients apply warm compresses to the affected lymph nodes for about 15 minutes to reduce swelling and relieve pain.
2. Medication
If a patient is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an inflammatory response may occur, causing symptoms such as night sweats and pain. It is recommended that patients undergo treatment under medical supervision using medications such as rifampicin tablets and isoniazid tablets.
3. Surgical Treatment
If pathogens invade the lymph nodes through skin or mucous membranes, causing inflammation, swelling, and pain that persist over time, patients should visit a正规 hospital where surgery may be performed to remove the enlarged lymph node and alleviate pain symptoms.
Patients are advised to maintain regular daily routines, ensure sufficient sleep, avoid staying up late, follow a light diet, and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods such as hot pot or barbecue, to prevent worsening of the condition and prolonged recovery time.
