Patient's question:
12 years old, discovered one month ago, swollen parotid lymph nodes, painless and without fever. Local hospitals couldn't find any cause.Doctor's answer:
Lymph node enlargement is just one manifestation of inflammation. It is best to use an adequate amount of anti-inflammatory drugs for a sufficient duration under the guidance of a doctor. Sometimes, even if the inflammation subsides, the enlarged lymph nodes may not shrink. If the lymph node enlargement is caused by inflammation, it is unnecessary to worry once the inflammation resolves. If you are still concerned, you can have your doctor examine your lymph nodes to determine if a biopsy is necessary to rule out other conditions.
