What Is Causing Swollen Lymph Nodes On My Body?
I had a swollen lymph node in my neck 2 weeks ago; I asked my doctor about it and she told me to take Cefuroxime for 7 days then it disappeared, but after that I felt something in my groin, there was a swollen lymph node too, I went back to my doctor and he told me to take Co-Amoxiclav. Today is my last day of taking the medicine, but the enlargement of the node just decrease in size but it still there. Then yesterday, I felt a swollen knots in my outer thighs and inner legs, what might that be? Help me please. Now I have a painful node in the clavicular area. What might my sickness is?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Lymphnode enlargement suggests infection. Multiple lymphnode enlargement needs to looked at carefully.
2. As it is recurring, site of primary infection needs to be identified. Also a lymphnode biopsy and culture would be helpful.
3. Improve your diet with protein and Vit A, B-complex, Vit C and Zinc. Improved immunity reduces risk of infection. Maintain hygiene. Get an FNAC done to rule out other causes of lymphnode enlargement.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
