Inflammation of lymph nodes
This disease affects adults and young people, a disease that results from a defect in the body and today we will explain the detailed about the disease.
The lymph nodes have an important role in protecting the body from infectious diseases. These glands may swell even if the infection is superficial or invisible, although it is possible to identify the infection that caused the lymphatic swelling.
Swollen glands, often accompanied by pain in the throat or inflammation of the ear. The swelling of the lymph glands is evidence that it is involved and plays a role in fighting infection.
Inflammation of the lymph glands in the ribs occurs when infection occurs in the feet, legs or genital area. In many cases, these glands swell without a clear infection.
The glands behind the ears swell as a result of an infection in the scalp. If there is no infection in the scalp, the patient may have recently contracted or is currently suffering from German measles. Infection or mononucleosis may also cause swollen glands behind the ears.
If the swollen gland is red and causes pain when it is sensed, it may indicate a bacterial infection inside the gland itself, which requires antibiotic treatment.
In other cases, swollen glands need no treatment, simply because they fight infections elsewhere in the body.
If the swelling of the glands is accompanied by pain in the throat or the mother’s ears, the cause is often a viral infection, do not need any treatment.
If you notice that the size of a single gland, or number of glands, gradually increases and increases within a 3-week period, you should consult your doctor. In some very rare cases, the swelling of the lymph glands may indicate a serious health problem.
Home Therapy
Check the glands within a few weeks and see if the swelling continues, increases or worsens, and whether other glands appear to swell. Most cases of swelling of the glands that remain swollen until after 3 weeks are not serious, but it is advisable to consult with the doctor if it remained intact and did not shrink in size. Mother glands usually disappear within a few days, and the pain is due to the rapid growth of the gland in the early stages of fighting the infection. The gland needs a long period of time to return to its normal size, longer than the period it took to swell.
During a visit to the doctor
The doctor will examine the glands and look for infectious pathogens or other factors of lymphatic bloating. The doctor may examine other glands that the patient has not noticed has swollen. The doctor asks a number of questions to the patient about temperature, weight loss or other symptoms related to swelling of the glands. The doctor may decide to perform blood tests or follow the glands for a certain period of time. In rare cases, a small part of the gland may need to be removed for examination under a microscope in the laboratory.
