The phenomenon of lymph nodes increasing in size due to internal cell proliferation or tumor cell infiltration. Common clinical signs. 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.

Because children's heads have thin skin and less subcutaneous tissue, lymph nodes are easy to touch on the surface of the body. Some irritants on the head and face, such as prickly heat, can cause reactive enlargement of lymph nodes.

Generally speaking, if the lymph nodes are slightly enlarged, single or scattered, soft, non-tender, non-adhesive, and not accompanied by other symptoms, no treatment is needed for the time being, but the changes must be closely observed. If they do not increase in size or gradually decrease in size, observation can continue; if they increase in size or increase in number, a doctor must be consulted.

As for the treatment of swollen lymph nodes, Western medicine currently has no ability to reverse the pathology. Patients can only use antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, injections, etc. to relieve symptoms, but cannot completely cure the disease from the root. In comparison, traditional Chinese medicine has long studied this disease, and has achieved very ideal clinical treatment effects with traditional black plasters that are good at promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, clearing away heat and detoxifying. Among them, the most significant effect is the lymphadenitis plaster.
