Patient's question:
A large lump on the posterior neck root, which was hard in the early stage, but recently it has been very painful. It hurts when touched, and there is pus discharge when squeezed by hand. What disease could it be?Doctor's answer:
Considering it is a lymph node, it has developed lymphadenitis. This requires selecting the appropriate antibiotic treatment based on the specific location and the type of bacteria causing the inflammation. Therefore, it is necessary to identify which part is inflamed and what type of inflammation it is. Inflammation can be either non-specific or specific. Without a clear diagnosis of the condition, it is recommended to seek medical examination and avoid blindly using medications.
