General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,
by your history i can tell you that it is generalised lymphadenopathy.But it is very hard to find the cause in your case with this history.You beter consult doctor so that they will do more investigations for you to diagnose your disease.But i can tell you that generalised lympadenopathy may be due to infection or malignancy.Find out urself whether you are attacked with any fever or somethingn like that.It may also be due to medications like phenytoin.cephalosporins,pencillin or sulfonamides, are more likely to cause a serum sickness-like syndrome with fever, arthralgias and rash in addition to lymphadenopathy.SO CONSULT A DOCTOR SO THAT THEY WILL INVESTIGATE YOU AND IF THEY TREAT THE CAUSE YOUR LYMPHADENOPATHY WILL BE CURED.THANKYOU.
