Answer
Neck swelling is typically caused by inflammation or infection. It is recommended to treat the symptoms with anti-inflammatory drugs such as cefradine or amoxicillin. Also, drink plenty of water and use cooked grass of the earth to help reduce swelling. Incorporate seaweed and cabbage into daily meals. Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that it may be due to excessive stomach fire, so it is recommended to take Jianggan Ling tablets and Niuhuang Jiedu tablets, as well as internal application of Dujiu cream. In terms of daily diet and lifestyle adjustments, attention should be paid to daily dietary habits.
