Suggest Remedy For Swollen Lymph Nodes All Over The Body
Im a 15 year old girl with swollen lymph nodes throughout my body. this started a month ago when i had alot of pain in the area of my appendix, hence i went to my gp who said to go to the ER. there my blood and urine tests showed nothing, but my ultrasound showed that i have swollen lymph nodes. the doctor said it was probably something i ate (i wasnt sick previously) and to just let it pass. now there are lymph nodes all over my stomach, underarm and just generally throughout my body. ( most of them are painful). what do i do?

Hi,Dear,Welcome to HCM. Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-Multiple- Causes -
-Reactive adentiis in Infective(Viral-Cat Scratch disease,infectious Mono/Bacterial-Trypanosomiasis-in neck),Plague,Toxopalsmosis-Generalised.
-Lymphomas-NHL and HL
-Auto-immune-Sarcoidosis/SLE-Systemic Lupus/Rhuematoid Arthritis
-HIV / aides-
-Chronic infections-Tuberculosis,
-Food /Dust -asbestos allergy-causing lymphnodes.
As your generalised lymphnodes are proved by USG study by your doctors,Unless FNAC Biopsy from General Surgeon-CT scan/MRI -study, is done,I would not label it as Lymphnodes till the biospy Histopath report comes with itc exact causative factor.Multiple Familial Lipomatosis with Dercums disease could be the reason of your multiple swellings all over body.
Remedy-
Would depend on the cause of the multiple lymphnodes / or Lipomatosis.
Steroids or medicines would be needed as per the advise from your treating doctor,who is the best judge for it.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors.
