Doctor's answer:

Lymphadenopathy generally indicates inflammation or infection, and it is recommended to treat it with anti-inflammatory medications such as cephalaxin or amoxicillin. Drink plenty of water and consider brewing cat's claw herb tea to drink, as it has a good effect on reducing lymph swelling. Eat more kelp and cabbage in daily life. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that it is caused by excessive stomach fire and suggests taking Chong Gan Ling tablets, Ni Huang Jie Du tablets, and oral Du Jiao Gao for dietary and lifestyle adjustments (preventive measures and medicinal diet): Pay more attention to diet in daily life.
