Question
I am 36 years old and have been feeling unwell recently. I sometimes get dizzy during the day, which affects my work, and I can’t sleep at night. The medication I’m taking doesn’t seem to work very well. How should I handle the case of an enlarged lymph node under a child’s armpit?
Answer
Your condition may be due to chronic lymph node inflammation or reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. For the former, consider using traditional Chinese medicine to resolve phlegm and consolidate, or for the latter, fire needle therapy, both of which have shown effectiveness. For a nine-month-old baby, if bitten by a poisonous insect, you can use mosquito repellent or glycerin as protective topical agents to aid recovery.
