Treatment of lymph nodes on children's neck

It is very serious if a child has lymph nodes on his neck. Many mothers treat their children as their treasures and do not want their children to have various problems. The problem of lymph nodes on a child's neck seriously affects the normal physical condition of our children. The problem of lymph nodes on a child's neck will also greatly affect our own external image. Let us now learn about the treatment methods of lymph nodes on a child's neck.

Lymph node enlargement is very common and can occur in people of any age. It can be seen in a variety of diseases, both benign and malignant. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the cause of lymph node enlargement and seek medical treatment and diagnosis in time to avoid misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Let’s talk about the common causes of swollen lymph nodes. Most cases of chronic lymphadenitis have obvious infection foci, and are often localized lymph node enlargement with pain and tenderness. The diameter usually does not exceed 2 to 3 cm and will shrink after anti-inflammatory treatment. Inguinal lymphadenopathy, especially long-standing, unchanged, flat lymphadenopathy, is usually of no significance. However, unexplained enlargement of the cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes indicates a systemic lymphoproliferative disease and should be taken seriously and further examined and confirmed. Tuberculous lymphadenitis is characterized by fever, sweating, fatigue, and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and is more common in young and middle-aged people. It is often accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis. The texture of the lymph nodes is uneven, some parts are lighter (caseous change), some parts are harder (fibrosis or calcification), and they are adhered to each other and the skin, so their mobility is poor.

These patients have positive tuberculin tests and blood tuberculosis antibodies. Malignant lymphoma can also be seen in any age group. The lymph node enlargement is often painless and progressive, ranging in size from soybeans to dates, and of medium hardness. Generally, there is no adhesion to the skin, and they do not fuse with each other in the early and middle stages, so they are movable. In the later stages, the lymph nodes may grow very large or fuse into large masses with a diameter of more than 20 cm, invading the skin and taking a long time to heal after rupturing. In addition, it can invade the mediastinum, liver, spleen and other organs, including the lungs, digestive tract, bones, skin, breast, nervous system, etc. Diagnosis requires biopsy. Clinically, malignant lymphoma is often misdiagnosed. Among patients with superficial lymphadenopathy as the first symptom, 70% to 80% are diagnosed as lymphadenitis or lymphadenopathy tuberculosis at the initial visit, resulting in delayed treatment.

The treatment method for lymph nodes on children's necks must not be chosen blindly. Children's physical fitness is very fragile. We must seek scientific treatment methods to achieve better and more obvious healing effects. Our mothers also need to know more about related aspects to protect the health of our children.
