What are the symptoms of lymph nodes

Symptom 1: various infections: bacterial infections, such as acute inflammation of the mouth and face, often cause swelling of the mandibular lymph nodes, which are soft in texture, good in activity, accompanied by pain and fever. Generally, it tends to be normal with the disappearance of inflammation. Viral infection, such as measles and infectious mononucleosis, can cause lymphadenopathy. In addition, anaphylactic diseases and poisonous insect stings can also cause lymphadenopathy.

Symptom 2: chronic lymphadenitis: most of them have obvious infection foci, and they often have localized lymphadenopathy and tenderness. Generally, the diameter is no more than 2-3cm, which will shrink after anti-inflammatory treatment. The enlargement of inguinal lymph nodes, especially the long-standing flat lymph nodes, is of no significance. However, the enlargement of neck and supraclavicular lymph nodes without obvious cause indicates systemic lymphoproliferative disease, which should be paid attention to and further examined.

Symptom 3: tuberculous lymphadenitis: cervical lymph node enlargement is more common, some will burst, some do not burst. There are fever, sweating, fatigue and other symptoms, mostly in young adults. Often accompanied by tuberculosis, lymph node texture is not uniform, some part of the soft caseous change, some part of the hard fibrosis or calcification, and adhesion to each other, and adhesion with the skin, so the activity is poor. Tuberculin test and blood tuberculosis antibody were positive in these patients.
