What medication should be taken for swollen lymph nodes?
I'm not sure what I'm infected with, but the lymph node here is swollen badly. I just want to ask the doctor, what medication is better for swollen lymph nodes?
Doctor's answer (1)
Swollen lymph nodes may be a reaction of the body to infection, inflammation, or other diseases. Medication should be selected according to the specific underlying cause.
If the swelling is due to common infections (such as a sore throat or periodontal disease), addressing the primary infection usually allows the lymph nodes to gradually return to normal. In such cases, antibiotics (if caused by bacterial infection) or symptomatic treatment (such as pain relievers) may be required.
It is recommended to select appropriate medications under the guidance of a doctor. If lymph nodes remain swollen, become painful, or are accompanied by other symptoms (such as fever, night sweats, weight loss, etc.), prompt medical attention is advised, as these could be signs of a more serious condition (such as an immune disorder or certain cancers).
