Is it true that all enlarged lymph nodes in the neck are dangerous? What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat? What could be the causes of an enlarged lymph node in the neck?
Answers
Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck may be caused by chronic lymphadenitis or reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. For chronic lymphadenitis, treatment options may include traditional Chinese medicine to resolve phlegm, disperse nodules, and clear heat and detoxify. For reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, acupuncture therapy can be considered, as it has been proven effective in some cases. Moreover, these treatment methods can also be used as adjunctive therapy for various diseases that cause hypoproteinemia, such as chronic liver disease, liver cirrhosis, or kidney disease leading to hypoproteinemia, as well as nutritional supplementation treatment for negative nitrogen balance and hypoproteinemia following surgery or due to malignant tumors.
