Suggest Treatment For Inflamed Lymph Nodes On The Neck

Hi. I have inflammed lymph nodes on and off for about a year. About a week ago I had 3 nodes swell on my neck and were very painful. My CBC is perfect except for basophils elevated; everything else perfect. For as long as I remember I have episodes of sore throat and in the past year I have also had discomfort in my ears. I am thinking its my tonsils but I dont have the white stuff or fever...

Hi..
Welcome to Healthcare Magic..

I have gone through your query and can very well understand your health concerns..

As per your complain swollen and inflamed lymph nodes also known as LYMPHADENOPATHY and it is commonly due to infections in the nearby and distant regions of the body..
As the swellings are not persistent and keeps on reducing and recurring you need no to worry as it can b most probably due to infection..
It can be due to causes like:
1. Any prevailing or recurring infections on facial structures like ear, throat, nose,teeth, salivary glands, teeth and gums etc or at times infections of distant body parts may cause secondary infection and swelling in distant lymph nodes..
2.Any long standing debilitating diseases..

You should consult a Physician and get evaluated and get a Biopsy/FNAC done..

In case of infections and inflammation antibiotics like Augmentin or amoxicillin and anti-inflammatory medicines like steroids can be taken..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
