How to treat enlarged abdominal lymph nodes
Disease description:
I started having abdominal pain a few days ago. After going to the hospital for an examination, I was diagnosed with swollen abdominal lymph nodes. I would like to know how swollen abdominal lymph nodes are treated?

The treatment for enlarged abdominal lymph nodes depends on the specific underlying cause and mainly includes the following approaches:
1. **Treatment targeting inflammation**: If enlargement is caused by intra-abdominal inflammation, such as acute or chronic gastrointestinal inflammation, antibiotics such as ofloxacin, amoxicillin, or metronidazole may be prescribed. However, it is important not to use medications blindly without medical guidance.
2. **Treatment targeting tumors**: If caused by abdominal tumors or lymphoma, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is necessary. Treatment options such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgical intervention should be pursued according to the physician's recommendations.
3. **Surgical treatment**: For lymph node enlargement clearly caused by tumors, laparoscopic surgery may be considered to directly observe and manage the affected lymph nodes.
4. **Adjunctive therapies**: Methods such as abdominal massage and traditional Chinese medicine may help improve blood circulation and alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort. However, patients should avoid self-medicating with any drugs before receiving a confirmed diagnosis.
Patients should seek timely medical attention and receive diagnosis and treatment from qualified healthcare professionals.
