Question

I am 36 years old and have been feeling unwell recently. Sometimes I get dizzy during the day, which affects my work, and I have trouble sleeping at night. The medication I took didn’t seem to help much. What department should I visit for pediatric lymphadenitis?

Answer

The department to visit for pediatric lymphadenitis should be chosen based on the symptoms: if accompanied by pain or tenderness, fever, rash, streaky skin erythema, the first visit should be to the infectious diseases or internal medicine department; if accompanied by low fever, weight loss, night sweats, the first visit should be to the infectious diseases or epidemiology department; if accompanied by fever, anemia, bleeding, and enlargement of the liver and spleen, the first visit should be to the hematology department; if accompanied by nosebleeds, nasal congestion, headache, hearing loss, etc., the first visit should be to the otorhinolaryngology department; if there is a regional single painless lymphadenopathy, the first visit should be to the general surgery department; if there is progressive lymphadenopathy with no obvious signs of infection, the first visit should be to the oncology department.
